Environmental Planning in Baja California, Mexico: A Methodological Approach
The conservation of biodiversity and natural systems has led to a growing attraction for improved conservation practices and planning in the last ten years. According to Soule (1991),...
Coastal Higher Education in Mexico
Mexico is plagued by problems that constraint the efficient use of its coastal zone. Such problems are not necessarily unique to Mexico, but are a threat to some degree in all national...
Man on the Black Sea Coast
The studies of sea coasts have been attracting considerable interest of scientists working on various theoretical and practical problems. This particular zone has been a long-standing...
The History of the Black Sea Coastal Zone Studies
The exploration of the Black Sea coast by Russian hydrographers began in the early 19th century. Hydrographic expeditions of Budishev (1802) and Zarudny (80-ties of the 19th century) provided...
The General Characteristic of the Black Sea Coasts
The total length of the Black Sea coast is 4431 km. These shores have been developing in various natural conditions formed through the entire history of this basin. So, the coasts may...
Transformation of the Black Sea Coast and Shelf by Wave Erosion in Pliocene-Pleistocene
Theory of transformation of coast and shelf of the ancient and modern seas by waves is presented. It allows to work out a scheme of adjoining land and shelf evolution on the basis of basin...
Geoecology of the Black Sea Coastal Zone
Author understands geoecology as a field of science investigating mechanisms of destruction of biosphere by man through his influence on the ocean relief, sediments and suspended matter....
Technogenic Pollution of the Caucasian Black Sea Coastal Zone and Specific Features of Self-Purification
Within the scope of ecological monitoring in 1989-1991 pollution of river and sea water and bottom sediments with oil products (OP, poly-aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), pesticides (PC), toxic...
Ecology of Gelendzhik Bay
Natural conditions of Gelendzhik bay and process of its ecological degradation during last year are described in this paper. The main flow of pollutants enters form the city and vineyards...
Ecological Situation of the Black Sea Coastal Zone
Some aspects of the Black Sea ecosystems evolution are discussed with regard of growing volumes of discharged pollutants and encroachment of Mnemopsisleidyi. The data characterizing ecological...
Longshore Sediment Transport and Radionuclide Dispersion in the Black Sea Coastal Zone
After the Chernobyl accident the studies of the longshore sediment transport in the Black Sea have got new applications connected with a marine pollution problem. The method to calculate...
Pitzunda Peninsula Coast Dynamics
The dynamics of Pitzunda Peninsula during last 100 years is examined in this paper. The process of sediment shift and coastline evolution during last 30 years is considered in detail....
Modern Fluxes of Suspended Matter in the Caucasian Black Sea Coastal Zone
In 1989-1991 bottom fluzes of suspended matter were measured in the Black Sea costal zone. Sedimentary traps (mouth area 1194 cm) were placed in 16 points between Novorossiysk and Sochi....
Bulgarian Coastal Management
This paper responds to the call of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development for sustainable and economically-sound development and use of the world's natural resources....
Wave Diffraction Patterns Behind Detached Breakwaters
This paper presents a theoretical model to examine the wave diffraction behind detached breakwaters subjected to regular oblique waves. The method of solution is an eigenfunction expansion...
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...
Long Term Water Level Observations and Variations
Numerous tide gouges have been recording data along the coastlines of the southern North Sea for more than a century, at Amsterdam even since 1700. Every tide gauge locality has its own...
Water Quality Management in the Southern North Sea
The inhomogeneous spatial distribution of the water and (suspended) sediments quality in the southern North Sea is determined mainly by the specific transport and mixing of water masses....
Water Quality of the Wadden Sea
A brief overview will be given of the different sources of input to the Wadden Sea (rivers, land run-off, atmosphere, dumping). The specific problems encountered in comparing the different...
