Bioaccumulation in Mussels Caged in Alamitos Bay, CA
Alamitos Bay is a coastal embayment located in the southern portion of the highly urbanized Los Angeles basin. There is concern of the potential for contamination stemming from urban non-point...
Coastal Processes on the Wai-San-Ding Barrier of Taiwan STrait, R.O.C.
The coastal line processes on the Wan-San-Ding Barrier is discussed in this paper since 1900. The wave energy along this coast is computed from the measured wave by considering the refraction...
Regularities of the Abrasive Coast Development of the Ukrainian Black Sea
The length of the Ukrainian Black Sea coast between Danube delta and Kerch Strait is 1628 km. Abrasive cliffs with rates of abrasion from 0.1 to 4.7 m/y (average multi-year data) are common....
Waves and Currents Near the Kinburn Spit Extremity
A method of calculation of wave transformation and of currents generated by waves in a surf zone, including a spit extremity is offered. No additional hypothesis on radial stress and wave...
Morphological Trends of the Belgian Coast Shown by 10 Years of Remote-Sensing Based Surveying
The morphological evolution of foreshore, backshore, and adjoining dunes of the entire Belgian coast is surveyed by means of aerial remote sensing on a yearly basis since 1983. The evolution...
Study on Littoral Protection by Sand-Filled Tube
