A Mathematical Model for Predicting the Motion of Polluting Surface Plumes Due to Drift Currents
The paper analyzes the problem of displacement from the offshore to the nearshore of a polluting surface plume, subject to advection generated by wind-waves and wind-currents. After a...

The Morphology of the Anglian Coast
The morphology of the Anglian coast consists of three Integrated Scale Coastal Evolution (ISCE) units. A bay, marked by the 10m bathymetric contour, extends from Flamborough in the north...

Morphology of the Southern North Sea Coast from Cape Blanc-Nez (F) to Den Helder (NL)
The southeastern North Sea coast of France, Belgium and the Netherlands (up to Den Helder) is characterized by coastal dunes, sandy beaches and a shallow, gently shoreface. In the Delta...

Coastal Morphological Modeling for the Southern North Sea
The paper gives a inventory of mathematical model concepts for coastal morphological applications, from sophisticated short-term process models based on first physical principles, via...

Long Term Wave Statistics
Long term wave statistics are needed for many applications in coastal engineering and oceanography in the southern North Sea. Three sources of wave data are available: visual observations,...

The Management of Enclosed Coastal Water Bodies: The Need for a Framework for International Information Exchange
The planning and management of lagoons and enclosed bays is practiced around the world and the number of programs is increasing yearly as more coastal nations become involved in the rapidly...

Modeling Beach Erosion and Shore Evolution
The objectives of this paper are to review some hydraulic modelling techniques for the evaluation of beach erosion and shoreline evolution due to wave and current action. Both numerical...

Coastal Zone Management in Atlantic Canada: Developing the Necessary Regional Infrastructure
This paper focuses on the incremental development of a coastal zone management (CZM) constituency in the Atlantic Region and in particular on the recent establishment of the Atlantic Coastal...

Meeting Information and Communication Needs in Regional Coastal Zone Management: Case Studies from the Great Lakes
Recent initiatives in regional coastal management within the Ontario Great Lakes basin, such as the preparation of Shoreline Management Plans by Ontario Conservation Authorities, background...

Designing the Framework for Coastal Mapping and Database Building in Support of a Coastal Zone Management Program: Nova Scotia, Canada
The Province of Nova Scotia has undertaken a program to manage its coastal zone. In support of this program it was recognized early in the process that comprehensive sets of data and information...

Characteristic of the Yellow River Delta
The yellow river delta is a most unstable delta in the world. The river burst its lowstream bank 1500 times during the last 3000 years, 26 large shifting of the channel as well. The river...

Study on Littoral Protection by Sand-Filled Tube
This study focuses on a new, excellent construction method which excels in both the environmental and scenic aspects. It enables the construction of coastal structures such as jetty, detached...

A Study on Fishing Port Structures in Harmony with Fishery Environment
We have reported on the concept of environmentally productive fishing port structures along the coastline of Japan ('91 LONGBEACH). In this paper we present a field model experiment on...

The Planning and Design of Multipurpose Artificial Barrier Reefs
Multipurpose artificial barrier reef is proposed for the enhancement of fisheries as part of the purpose of entire system of structures in Japan. As part of our planning efforts we are...

Development of the Double Cylinder Caisson Breakwater
A double cylinder caisson breakwater was recently developed to create a calm sea area in deep and high wave open sea areas. In order to confirm some subjects on design method and construction...

IVHS Strategic Planning for Washington State
Implementation of IVHS technologies must be based on a strategic planning approach. The strategic plan must consider regional and statewide needs and should prompt integration of IVHS...

Estimation of Queue Lengths in Urban Road Networks
In this paper we present a new scheme for the surveillance of traffic state on a link of an urban road network. It is shown that measurements of traffic counts and speed values from a...

Filtering and Prediction on Freeways Using Markov Models
A Markov compartment model of freeway traffic flow is presented and used to derive a Kalman Filter which tracks a freeway section's density, broken down by destination. The filter is then...

A Dynamic Real-Time Incident Detection System for Urban Arterials?System Architecture and Preliminary Results
This study presents a system which is capable of detecting incidents in real-time and adjusting itself to traffic dynamics through the embedded learning mechanism. The entire system consists...

Integrating Advanced Telematics into Urban and Regional Transport Policies?Munich Greater Area Case Study
Before the background of the emerging of advanced transport telecommunication and informatics several traffic information and control systems are under development with a bottom up approach....
