Litigating the Invisible Boundaries of Tidelands and Wetlands
The author urges uniformity in standards for establishing the two invisible lines that are dominant in coastal law, i. e. , the main high water line and the wetlands line. A high degree...
Rising Sea Level, Storms, and Coastal Erosion at Ocean City, Maryland
This paper describes the 'greenhouse effect', and its impact on future sea level rise; provides an overview of the possible impacts on Maryland and other coastal...
Simulation of Marsh Growth Under Rising Sea Levels
A method for computation of the rise of a marsh surface is presented that includes the effects of tidal and sea level variations, aggregation and deposition of cohesive suspended sediments,...
A Two-Dimensional Numerical Model of Thermal Discharges in Coastal Regions
This paper describes a two-dimensional numerical model of thermal discharges in coastal regions. The model uses potential flow theory to calculate the ambient velocity field of the coastal...
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....
A Micro-Computer Simulation Model Based on South African Hydrology
This paper presents the development of a micro-computer compatible hydrological simulation model wherein an attempt has been made to satisfy some of the modelling needs in South Africa....
3-D Orthogonal Curvilinear Circulation Modelling
A three-dimensional circulation model has been developed using an orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system. The model as constructed is capable of simulations on a variety of time and...
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...
Tidal Modelling on IBM Microcomputers
The finite element code, QUIET, for the simulation of two-dimensional shallow water flow has been adapted from its mainframe form for use on the IBM PC, PC/XT, or AT. The model uses of...
A Microcomputer Dispersivity Evaluation Method for Thick Aquifers
The Littoral Environment Observation (LEO) program uses volunteer observers recruited to obtain daily visual observations of such coastal variables as breaker height, wave period, direction...
Brazil's Innovation in APM Technology
The paper discusses an automated people mover (APM) called an Aeromovel which consists of pneumatically-controlled vehicles weighing less than 20,000 pounds with a capacity of 300 passengers....
Performance of Cogoti Dam Under Seismic Loading
At the time of its completion in 1938, the 280 ft (85 m) high Cogoti concrete face rockfill dam was exceeded in height by only one other dam of its type in the world, Salt Springs Dam....
Alto Anchicaya Dam?Ten Years Performance
The general aspects of design and construction of the Alto Anchicaya Dam duilt during 1970 - 1974 in Colombia, South America are described. The paper refers to the performance of the structure...
Foz do Areia Dam?Design, Construction, and Behaviour
The 525 ft (160 m) high Foz do Areia dam in the Iguacu River, Parana, Brazil, built by 'Companhia Paranaense de Energia - COPEL', between 1975-1980, is part of...
