Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1964 A breakwater design is optimum when it results in a structure that meets the requirements at minimum total cost. The total cost consist of cost of construction, anticipated damage and economic loss due to failure of the structure. For any type of structure the design wave or load is governed by the condition of minimum total cost.

Conservation genomics of Pecos pupfish (Cyprinodon pecosensis)
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The Pecos pupfish, Cyprinodon pecosensis, is an imperilled freshwater fish found in arid regions of Texas and New Mexico (USA). The species faces multiple challenges to persistence including reductions in suitable habitat, water shortages, as well as hybridization and competition with an introduced congener (sheepshead minnow, C.

Stability of toe and scour protection [PDF]
, 1997 Local scour can occur at a breakwater constructed on a sandy seabed and may endanger the overall stability due to sliding of the main armour layer if the toe and scour protection is failing.

That sinkin’ feeling: Environmentally induced distress on a disappearing island
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Residents of Tangier Island, Virginia, a subsiding island in the Chesapeake Bay, embody psychosocial dimensions of environmental change. Analysis of ethnographic data shows islanders’ experiences and articulations of anxiety, panic, and despair as “that sinkin’ feeling,” resulting from the stress of living with the long‐term threat of imminent

Effects of breakwater location on breakwater performance / Yuslina Mohd Sani [PDF]
, 1998 A study was conducted in the laboratory to determine the effects of breakwater location on its ability to absorb the wave action. A model breakwater was constructed in the wave basin using aggregates measurements were carried out to measure the wave ...

Coastal Engineering 1986, 1986 The refraction of water waves around the heads of breakwaters can lead to large wave heights along the sheltered side of the structure. These waves are shown to be edge waves, trapped on the breakwater, based on the comparison of laboratory data and linear edge wave theory.

Lagrangian two-phase flow modeling of scour in front of vertical breakwater
Coastal Engineering Journal, 2020 A Lagrangian particle-based two-phase flow model is developed to simulate the scouring process induced by standing wave in front of the trunk section of a vertical breakwater.

Sea‐Level Rise Adaptation and Collaboration in Polycentric Governance: A Comparison of Three Regions
Public Administration Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Adaptation to sea‐level rise confronts coastal communities worldwide with a new set of collective action problems that require collaboration. When does collaboration result in concrete action for adaptation? To address this question, we combine the Ecology of Games and Collaborative Governance frameworks using a comparative analysis of three ...
