Ponds and Lagoons of Gulf Islands National Seashore
A physical and natural resource survey was conducted of the ponds and lagoons on Horn and Petit Bois Islands, Gulf Islands National Seashore, Mississippi. Petit Bois Island contains 17...
Analysis of Barrier Island Dynamics for Ship Channel Planning at Ship Island, Mississippi
Ship Island is located among a chain of barrier islands approximately 18 km south of Biloxi, Mississippi. During initial construction of Gulfport Harbor Ship Channel, 1901-1905, the channel...
Erosion and Washover in Coastal Louisiana
In 1985 three hurricanes affected the barrier coastline (Caminada-Moreau Headland) of Louisiana. These produced severe coastal erosion and rapid washover extension. Using the 1979 U.S.G.S....
The South Carolina Coast I. Natural Processes and Erosion
The heart of South Carolina's beach erosion problem in South Carolina lies along those 26 miles of beach which are developed and are apparently experiencing more rapid erosion....
The South Carolina Coast II. Development and Beach Management
The variety of development and conservation areas is superimposed on a wide range of erosion and accretion histories. Lack of construction setbacks has contributed to the general but probably...
A Review of the South Carolina Method for Establishing Coastal Setback Lines
The location of the setback line will depend to a large extent on the nature of the shoreline. Those areas adjacent to an unstabilized tidal inlet and affected by coastal processes at...
Shoreline Change Along the South Carolina Coast
Shoreline erosion/accretion rates were determined for the Atlantic coast extending from Tybee Island, GA. along the entire South Carolina coast to Cape Fear, NC. Approximately 130 years...
Coastal Processes and Management Issues on Folly Island, SC: 1850-1988
Folly Island has been the subject of numerous Federal studies, recommendations, and authorized appropriations since 1935. The overall consensus of these studies is that construction of...
Automating Design of Boston's Artery

A Toolset for Tailoring Processor Architectures
The M2 toolset is a collection of programs for determining combinations of algorithms, architectures, and fabrications which meet a set of application constraints. The paper describes...
CAD/CAM: Reverse Engineering Applications
The reproduction of parts for which drawings or CAD files are not available has always caused engineering effort to be expended in a non-routine manner. The need for such a reverse engineering...
Use of POE/POU Technology at US Army Installations
A wide spectrum of adverse water quality characteristics has been experienced at US Army installations throughout the country. These characteristics, both interim and long-term in nature,...
Risk of Waterborne Infectious Illness Associated with Diving in the Point Loma Kelp Beds, San Diego, CA
