Louisiana's Joint Public Notice System
The Louisiana Department of Natural Resources, Coastal Management Division (CMD) implemented the Joint Public Notice System (JPNS), a cooperative agreement with the United States Army,...

Erosive Processes in the Littoral of the Venice Lagoon (Italy)
The Lagoon of Venice is separated from the sea by a thin stretch of littoral, the completeness of which is vital for the survival of Venice. This littoral is dramatically threatened by...

Experimental Studies of Coastal Process and Improvement Works on Xiaodinggang Coast
The field observation and investigation in recent years show that the coast erosion in the area is mainly caused by rapid reduction of sediment supply. The deposit materials are uplifted...

Biological Stipulations and the Protection of Environmental Resources in the Gulf of Mexico
This paper documents the growing use of lease stipulations as an impact mitigation procedure in the Gulf of Mexico. In particular, the paper analyzes the role and effectiveness of biological...

Beach Erosion Mechanics
Beach erosion along the coasts affects economic, political and conservation conditions. This paper defines the mechanics of the Coriolis Effect, caused by earth spin, along with storm...

Hypsometry as a Tool for Calculating Coastal Submergence Rates
A contemporary rise in relative sea level is slowly submerging the outwash plain which lies behind Long Island's barrier beaches. While relative sea level change rates vary...

Sea Level Rise and Wetland Loss
Increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide and other gases are expected to raise global temperatures several degrees in the next century. Such a global warming could raise sea level a...

Coastal Erosion Control
The basic aim of the land-use approach in coastal erosion management is to minimise, and in some instances avoid, the erosion hazard through regulation of the amount of investment at risk....

The Redevelopment of Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco, California
The San Francisco Port Commission is desirous to upgrade the wharf area to revitalize the fishing fleet. The key element for such redevelopment would be a breakwater to protect the berthing...

Quantifying Florida's Coastal Storm Wave Susceptibility
A simple computer model capable of describing potential storm wave inundation and damage along Florida's sandy beaches is described from first principles. Model STORMWAVE...

Microcomputer Applications in Stochastic Hydrology
The stochastic precipitation model, namely, Discrete Autoregressive Moving Average (DARMA) process, is used to study daily precipitation time series all over the country. Microsoft Fortran...

SEDIMOT II Application to a Large Coastal Watershed
SEDIMOT II was applied to Barker Reservoir watershed in Houston, Texas, in order to simulate sedimentation in the drainage area and the relative effectiveness of sediment control strategies....

Overview of EPRI'S Solid Waste Environmental Studies
The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) initiated a comprehensive research project in 1983 with the long-term goal of improving and validating methods for predicting the fate of chemicals...

Physical and Chemical Behavior of Chrysotile Asbestos Particles in Natural Waters
The paper reports on research to develop a better understanding of the chemical behavior and the influence of surface chemistry on the physical behavior of chrysotile asbestos and other...

Computer Simulation of Coagulation
Coagulation, the process of collision and coalescence of particles, modifies the size distribution of the suspended mass, continuously creating larger particles which may settle out of...

Microcomputer Program for Daily Weather Simulation
Extensive climatic data have been collected by the National Weather Service and other agencies, and are available in printed form or on magnetic tapes. The published data are expensive...

Failure Investigation Process
The purpose of this paper is to consider the present failure investigation process, in order to assess whether failures are being properly investigated, and also whether sufficient information...

Coastal Zone '85
Coastal Zone '85 was a multidisciplinary conference for professionals, interested citizens, and decision-makers to exchange information and views. Coastal zone management...

Low Cement Content High Strength Concrete
The fundamental objective of this research project was to develop mix design information for structural grade concrete using high fly ash content. The fly ash used in this project was...

Structural Vibrations Associated with Large Incubation Tanks
It is the purpose of this paper to describe the format of an investigation wherein the train of evidence led from an assumption of a strictly mechanical cause to an actual cause that was...
