Uneven Impacts of Seawall Heightening on Tsunami Risk Reduction under Rising Sea Levels: Probabilistic Scenarios from the Japan Trench

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disasters exacerbated by climate change have prompted adaptation measures, including seawall heightening, which is an effective approach to protecting coastal areas. However, the combined effect of rising sea levels and tsunamis can create a compound coastal hazard, in which long‐term sea level rise amplifies the impact of tsunamis.

Early deglaciation history of the southeastern Baffin Island shelf (Eastern Canadian Arctic Archipelago)

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the last glacial period, the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) was the largest terrestrial ice sheet on Earth. Its evolution since the Last Glacial Maximum profoundly influenced Earth's geodynamics and surface processes. Investigating the past dynamics of the LIS provides critical insights into how contemporary ice sheets may respond to ...

IODP Expedition 382 Bathymetry

open access: yes, 2021
Operational bathymetry data were measured using 3.5 kHz and/or 12 kHz echo sounders. Raw data are available in ODEC/CSV and SEGY formats, and depth-corrected bathymetry is presented in SEGY format.

Hydraulic reconstruction of catastrophic drainage from the Late Glacial, Lake Fraser, British Columbia, Canada

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glacial Lake Fraser, which formed in British Columbia against the retreating Cordilleran Ice Sheet, stored ~520 km3 of water before its near‐total drainage into the Salish Sea during an outburst flood event. Despite the impact of the outburst flood on sediment transport and landscape evolution in the Fraser River valley, its peak discharge and

Disrupting the herd: Recreational boating alters group dispersion within beluga whale herds

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Recreational boating in beluga habitat remains poorly documented. Using land‐based observations in the Saguenay Fjord (Quebec, Canada), we show that increasing recreational boat numbers are associated with a higher probability of changes in beluga herd dispersion, suggesting behavioral disturbance and the need to integrate recreational boating into ...

Reconstruction and inversion of lake water depth based on ICESat-2 photon and Sentinel-2 — A case study of Caiduochaka Lake on the Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: Caiduochaka Lake (CK) on the Tibetan Plateau (TP). Study focus: This study reconstructs the bathymetry of CK by integrating Sentinel-2's large-area, spatially continuous spectral data with precise but spatially discontinuous depth ...

Individual movement modeling expands the power of migratory species observations: North Atlantic right whale case study

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding a population's distribution depends on observing the presence and movement of individuals throughout their range. For highly mobile marine species, these observations typically rely on high effort monitoring programs. Tracking enough individuals to understand trends in movement behavior is not always logistically feasible, and ...

Design and Implementation of a Dual Uncrewed Surface Vessel Platform for Bathymetry Research Under High-Flow Conditions

open access: yesIEEE Access
Bathymetry, the study of underwater depth and topography, relies on detailed sonar mapping of the underwater structures. These measurements, critical for infrastructure health monitoring and hazard detection, often require prohibitively expensive sensory
