The Effect of Nonlinear Drag PSD on Fatigue of Compliant Offshore Structures
Structural fatigue damage induced by random ocean wave loading on a compliant type of offshore structure is considered. The nonlinear wave force is modeled by the Morison equation and...
Management of Spent Nuclear Fuel in Sweden—Experiences and Plans
The principle adopted for the management of spent nuclear fuel from the Swedish reactors is final disposal without reprocessing. During the 1980ies systems and facilities for the transport...
Estimation of Water-Filled and Air-Filled Porosity in the Unsaturated Zone, Yucca Mountain, Nevada
The responses of density and dielectric logs are formulated in terms if the matrix properties, air-filled porosity and water-filled porosity. Porosity values obtained from logs from borehole...
Snake River Salmon Recovery Plan Development
The process used by the Snake River Salmon Recovery Team to develop its recovery plan is described. Major conditions affecting fish survival are identified. The Team's approach to evaluate...
Global Distribution of Water Through the Oceans
The paper is a conceptual investigation of a pipeline and bladder system for conveying and storing fresh water in the oceans. Modeling is recommended to provide background on what could...
Coastal Management and Ocean Industries in East Germany, from Central Planning Ineffectiveness Towards Local and Regional Development Strategies
In so far, the preconditions for the implementation of decentralized development tools both in coastal management and in ocean industries may be quite ideal in East Germany: there is the...
Holocene Sedimentation and Coastal Wetlands Response to Rising Sea Level at the Aucilla River Mouth, a Low Energy Coast in the Big Bend Area of Florida
The shallow dip of the Florida carbonate platform results in low wave energy on Florida Big Bend coasts. Therefore sedimentation is dominated by river-and tidal-hydrodynamics near the...
The Economics of Managing Coastal Erosion
In the race to develop prime coastal land, many structures have been built in high hazard areas which are prone to coastal erosion. In a real sense, erosion is not generally viewed to...
Implications of Technical and Legislative Harmonization for Integrated Coastal Zone Management in the Wider Caribbean Region
Sustainable development within the coastal areas of the wider Caribbean region will require government and non-government institutions alike to coordinate their activities, both nationally...
Florida's Marine Turtle Protection Program: Seeking Solutions
The State of Florida is attempting to assist in the recovery of endangered and threatened marine turtles. This paper describes the multi-leveled approach being utilized to address threats...
Salinity Variations in Two Louisiana Estuaries
Salinity variations, on a variety of time scales, are described for two shallow bar-built estuaries of the Louisiana coast. Tidal, sub-tidal, and seasonal scale variations are important...
NOAA's Damage Assessment Program: Past, Present, and Future
This paper reviews trustee authorities established under the Super fund Act of 1980 and the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 to provide an introductory framework for more detailed presentations...
The Coast in Japanese Literature
As an island nation, Japan has a long coastline and is surrounded on all sides by the sea. These geographic characteristics have been reflected in many forms in Japanese culture. In this...
The Possibility to Forecast Red-tide by Applying Remote Sensing Technique
This paper reviews the possibility to forecast red-tide by applying remote sensing technique....
TM Bands' Remote Measure Test for Seawater's Multi-factors—First Step Research on Remote Sensing for Bay's Self-Purificability
Marine Remote Sensing is different from Land Remote Sensing in someways, one of which is that ocean is a 3-d fluid with large changes in time and space. So the field sampling in sea-water,...
An Examination of Created Marsh and Seagrass Utilization by Living Marine Resources
It is evident that the time scale required for equivalent functioning of created marsh, seagrass and oyster habitats in terms of LMR utilization is on the scale of years. Even after two...
