Application of MLS and UAS-SfM for Beach Management at the North Padre Island Seawall

Remote Sensing
Collecting accurate and reliable beach morphology data is essential for informed coastal management. The beach adjacent to the seawall on North Padre Island, Texas, USA has experienced increased erosion and disrupted natural processes.

The use of video imagery to analyse groundwater and shoreline dynamics on a dissipative beach [PDF]

, 2011
Groundwater seepage is known to influence beach erosion and accretion processes. However, field measurements of the variation of the groundwater seepage line (GWSL) and the vertical elevation difference between the GWSL and the shoreline are limited.

Assessment of In Vitro Nano‐Cytotoxicity Through Fluorescence Microscopy via Neural Network‐Based Live/Dead Cell Classification

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
FluoAI is a two‐stage, label‐free method for quantifying nanomaterial‐induced cytotoxicity from conventional fluorescence microscopy images. Mask R‐CNN segmentation and DenseNet‐121 classification provide rapid live/dead classification matching human accuracy.

Characterization of the Pathogenic Potential of the Beach Sand Microbiome and Assessment of Quicklime as a Remediation Tool

Microorganisms, 2023
Beach sand may act as a reservoir for potential human pathogens, posing a public health risk. Despite this, the microbiological monitoring of sand microbiome is rarely performed to determine beach quality.

Fine Particulate Matter Constituents, Ozone, and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Large General‐Population Cohort Analysis With Extended Quantile g‐Computation

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate whether exposure to mixture of individual fine particulate matter (PM2.5) chemical constituents is associated with incident systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and if ozone modifies this association and/or is associated with SLE onset.

Optimal index related to the shoreline dynamics during a storm: the case of Jesolo beach [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2016
The paper presents an application of shoreline monitoring aimed at understanding the response of a beach to single storms and at identifying its typical behaviour, in order to be able to predict shoreline changes and to properly plan the defence of the ...

Beach and cliff retreat induced by storm groups at Forte Novo,Algarve (Portugal) [PDF]

, 2011
Littoral cell dynamics may change through time as a reaction to modifications of the coastal system. Along the Vilamoura-Quarteira coastline, the construction of a groin field limited the sediment supply to the already narrow Forte Novo beach, located ...

Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.
