Analytical Method of Ship Motions Moored to Quay Walls and Application to Port Planning
This paper describes an analytical method to calculate ship motions moored to quay walls and application of the method in order to establish the port planning method in taking account...
An Observational Model of Far-Field Transport
Accurate numerical simulation of the transport and fate of constituents in coastal waters is made difficult by the general inability to adequately specify open-water boundary conditions...
Numerical Modeling of Estuarine Training Structure Effects on Navigation Channel Performance
A two-dimensional, vertically averaged, numerical modeling technique is presented to analyze estuarine training structure performance. The technique consists of using the US Army Corps...
Storm Surge Model Sensitivity in Estuarine Areas
Under the auspices of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), a numerical study was undertaken to determine the sensitivity of predicted storm tide levels within an estuary to hurricane...
Numerical Solutions for Problems Related to Nearshore Morphology?!
In the development of numerical models of nearshore morphology various steps can be envisaged: 1. initial models: the initial bottom topography remains unchanged; spatial variations in...
Concrete Armor Mats: Large-Scale Wave Tank Tests Wave Stability Tests
Concrete mats provide an alternative to the more conventional shoreline stabilization techniques. Material requirements are low, placement techniques are straightforward and they tend...
Modeling Applications in Coastal Engineering
This paper discusses physical and numerical models of coastal processes as applied to coastal and ocean engineering projects. Some of the concepts and principles of modelling are identified...
Global Issues?Local Responsibilites
This paper discusses the concrete, day-to-day benefits of international regulations, the specific roles that local officials and interest groups play in developing successful international...
Copenhagen Metropolitan Region Coast Erosion Management
Modern requirements for control and development of the coastal zone are best fulfilled through ad hoc initiatives towards coordination between authorities and professionals, based on truly...
A Coastal Management Program for the Saudi Arabian Red Sea Coast
In marked contrast to the Arabian Gulf, the Red Sea is still largely unaffected by industrial development. Awareness of the relatively natural condition of the Red Sea and its outstanding...
Coastal Area Management in the South Pacific Islands
Within the broad framework provided by the South Pacific Regional Environment Programme a coastal area management programme, SOPACOAST, is underway. Its approach is broad, encompassing...
Is It Safe to Eat the Seafood?
The issue of bacterial, viral and chemical contamination of Puget Sound seafood and its consequent impact on human health has been of concern for some time. This paper discusses potential...
Guadalupe Dunes Revegetation Program
The subject of this paper is a revegetation program currently being developed by McClelland Engineers and Cities Services for a five-mile pipeline construction corridor in the Guadalupe...
Establishing Native Plant Communities on a Coastal Landfill, Berkeley, California
Three native coastal plant communities were successfully established in a park created on a landfill site on San Francisco Bay: coastal strand, coastal scrub, and prairie grassland. The...
Disturbance and Community Development
This paper reports on the recovery of nearshore vegetation after Hurricane Allen in 1980, change in roadside vegetation throughout a year, and the early re-establishment of vegetation...
Parameters Controlling the Success of Dune Revegetation at King Salmon, California
An eroded 9. 3 ha (23 acre) sand spit was restored through jetty construction and fill (using dredge spoils) by the Corps of Engineers at King Salmon on Humboldt Bay, California. An experimental...
Revegetation in the Arctic (
A tremendous amount of information on revegetation of Arctic tundra was gathered during the following completion of the Trans Alaska Pipeline System. This information and initiation of...
Assessing Cumulative Impacts in Wetland Watersheds
In spite of significant efforts to protect California wetlands through regulation and acquisition, many remain threatened by impacts originating in their watersheds. Local governments...
Wetland Enhancement Near Columbia River Mile 68
The May 18, 1980 and subsequent eruptions of the Mt. St. Helen's volcano, and consequential ashy river sedimentation have caused major changes to a wetland adjacent to Carrolls...
