Modification and Layout of the Galveston Island Groin Field for Retaining Sand on Beach
In the past hundred years or so, numerous groin fields have been constructed along the world's coastline. Many of these have little or no existing beach in the groin field. This paper...
A Verified Model for Harbor Entrance Sedimentation
This paper presents the development of a verified sedimentation model which is capable of quantifying the rate of dredged navigation channel sedimentation under local waves and currents....
Dependence of Shoreline Change on Channel Dredge Material Disposal Practices, Humboldt Bay, CA, A Case Study
This paper addresses the evaluation of dredge material disposal sites for Humboldt Harbor with emphasis on the Humboldt Open Ocean Disposal Site (HOODS) and the potential impact of its...
Shoreline Erosional/Depositional Patterns in Oman
This paper presents a brief synopsis of the physical setting and geomorphology of the Oman coast, emphasizing the areas with the most dramatic erosional/depositional eyeless. Eighty-three...
Tidally-Induced Sediment Transport on the Amazon Prodelta
A study of boundary-layer processes on the Amazon River prodelta region was conducted as part of the Amazon Shelf Sediment Study (AmasSeds). Over a 2-week period during the time of high...
Vertical Distribution of Sediment Under Waves
This paper is based on the research foundation of vertical relative distribution of sediment concentration and alluvial bed stability under waves. Amended theories of E. W. Lane and A.A....
An Overview of Louisiana's 1991-92 Christmas Tree-Brush Fence Program
A project to alleviate coastal land loss in Louisiana through the construction of sediment-trap fencing using recycled Christmas trees is described. It has been demonstrated that Christmas...
Impacts of Winter Storms on Sediment Transport Within the Terrebonne Bay Marsh Complex
Winter storms provide important controls on erosion and deposition in coastal Louisiana. An unanswered question of the Louisiana land loss problem is how these storms impact sediment flux...
Performance of an Upland Source Nourishment Project Honeymoon Island, Florida
Honeymoon Island is a barrier island located on the central Gulf coast of Florida. The history of the island demonstrates both natural and engineered changes in island shape and orientation...
Shoreline Changes Along the North Yucat?n Coast
The north Yucatan coast in the vicinity of Progreso, consisting of a multiple beach ridge barrier complex backed by a wetland-fringed lagoon, has undergone many changes since the late...
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 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...
The Specific Peculiarities of Relief Transformation and Shelly Sediment Differentiation in Coastal Zone
The settling velocities values of shelly sediment considerably differ from ones of the same particles of terrigeneous material and for this reason character and intensity of hydrodynamic...
Wave Boundary Layer Above the Submerged Coastal Slope
A calculation method of parameters of turbulent boundary layer formed by waves is proposed. A calculation of boundary layer on a rough slope with inclination typical for steep Caucasian...
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...
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...
Scientific Basis of Regulation of Coastal Processes (Case Study: Coast of the Black Sea)
SIA Saknapirdatsva experience in creation of gravel beaches for the coast protection from wave erosion is generalized in this paper. A conclusion has been made that the most expedient...
Development and Modern Dynamics of Alluvial-Accumulative Coasts of the Eastern Black Sea
River regime, river sediment and wave processes are greatly important in the alluvial accumulative coast evolution. The Black Sea coast of the Georgia may be a good example of such coast...
Influence of River Mouth Migrations on the Caucasian Black Sea Coast Development
When studying modern coastal and river-issue processes and comparing last century and modern maps some regularities were revealed. River arms, which are upstream the longitudinal sediment...
