The Strategic Petroleum Reserve Ocean Monitoring Program?An Introduction to Environmental Aspects of the Engineering Design Process
A model describes how determinations can be made on the effects of an engineered work or product in the environment. The engineered work can be a new waterway, a wastewater diffuser system,...

Petroleum Development in Louisiana's Coastal Zone
The most intense petroleum development activity in the nation's coastal area has been concentrated in Louisiana. Most of Louisiana's production has occurred in...

Designed Reefs for Habitat Loss Compensation
Coastal and ocean development challenge resource managers responsible for the conservation and maintenance of marine and estuarine resources with the task of mitigating or compensating...

Sea-Level Rise and Marsh Vertical Accretion Rates in Chesapeake Bay
Chesapeake Bay marshes, in their wide variety of vegetation types, salinity ranges, and environmental settings provide a unique perspective on the relations between marsh vertical accretion...

The Suwannee River Estuary: Cohesive Sedimentation
Cohesive sediment dynamics as effected by salinity intrusion are described for the Suwannee River Estuary, a large estuary flowing over the very shallow limestone shelf of Florida's...

Louisiana's Joint Public Notice System

Risk Analysis for Ship-Bridge Collisions
The authors have developed a propriety software package which has been successfully used to perform risk analyses for several high-level bridge structures across major waterways in coastal...

A Tidal Gauge System in New York Harbor
For over a year, a Real Time Wind and Water Level Telemetry System (RTWLTS or Tidal Gauge System) in New York Harbor has been generating real time data 24 hours per day on actual harbor...

Beach Erosion Mechanics
Beach erosion along the coasts affects economic, political and conservation conditions. This paper defines the mechanics of the Coriolis Effect, caused by earth spin, along with storm...

The Statistics of Storm-Induced Sediment Resuspension
The passage of a storm increases the wind stress applied to the sea surface. This surface stress is partially dissipated as it is transmitted through the water column. Some fraction of...
