Framework for the Planning and Coastal Management of the Concepcion, San Vicente and Coronel Bays, Chile
During recent years, coastal area degradation in the Biobio Region, especially in the enclosed bays and estuaries, have been monumental. At this time, the progressive loss of resources,...
San Francisco Bay and Delta Oil Spill Fate Studies Part II: Oil Spill Simulation
Because of the presence of oil refineries and significant tanker and barge traffic in the bay and delta region, the possibility of a moderate or major spill in the area must be considered....
Modeling the Fate and Transport of Toxic Heavy Metals in South San Francisco Bay
A two-dimensional vertically-averaged finite element model for the fate and transport of cohesive sediments and associated toxic heavy metals was utilized to predict the spatial and temporal...
Modeling the Impacts of Plankton Entrainment in a Tropical Bay
As part of the permitting for a coal-fired power plant, several enhancements were made to the two-dimensional flow and transport models TEA and ELA that allowed for the quantification...
Sediment Disposal and Transport in Central SF Bay
The relocation of dredged material from navigation channels in the Francisco Bay is crucial to the movement of deep-draft shipping and shallow-draft recreational vessels. The margins of...

Galveston Bay 3-D Model Study Channel Deepening Circulation and Salinity Results
The effects of deepening the Houston Ship Channel through the Galveston Bay estuary are predicted using the 3-D finite element numerical model RMA10-WES. The primary concern is the effect...
Modeling the Tides of Massachusetts and Cape Cod Bays
A time-dependent, three-dimensional numerical modeling study of the tides of Massachusetts and Cape Code Bays, motivated by construction of a new sewage treatment plant and ocean outfall...
Sea Defence System at Herne Bay, England
This paper reviews the investigations carried out into the design of the proposed now sea defences fronting the central area of Herne Bay on the North kent coast. The existing defences...
Chesapeake Bay Field Modeling and Monitoring Projects
'Traditional' erosion control measures often do not meet the corps of Engineers' requirement for economic justification. The costs of these measures are much greater than the benefits...
Wave Forecasting for Construction in Mobile Bay
Wave heights were forecast for day-to-day pipeline construction operations in the Main Pass area of Mobile Bay. A low-cost forecasting procedure was developed using the wave generation...
