Physical Mechanism for Seabed Scouring around a Breakwater—A Case Study in Mailiao Port

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
According to a field survey in 2012, the bathymetry near Mailiao Port, located in central Taiwan’s west coast, has a scouring hole that extends approximately 500 m × 100 m with a maximum scour depth of 26 m (eroded from its design depth −22 m to −48 m ...

The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Numerical analysis to consider effect of zigzag floating breakwater geometry on its performance

Applied Ocean Research
In this paper, a new concept of the floating breakwater with zigzag geometry on the seaside of the floating breakwater body was studied numerically. The hydrodynamic analysis of the zigzag floating breakwater has been investigated using the boundary ...

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Profile analyses in front of the breakwater in Ensenada, B.C.

Ciencias Marinas, 1995
Four bathymetric surveys were conducted in front of the breakwater in Ensenada, B.C., during 1990 and 1991. Five profiles were projected perpendicular to the structure for each survey.

On the 3D Reconstruction of Coastal Structures by Unmanned Aerial Systems with Onboard Global Navigation Satellite System and Real-Time Kinematics and Terrestrial Laser Scanning

Remote Sensing, 2022
A wide variety of hard structures protect coastal activities and communities from the action of tides and waves worldwide. It is fundamental to monitor the integrity of coastal structures, as interventions and repairs may be needed in case of damages ...

THE AESTHETICS OF URBAN METABOLISM: Landscape, Design and the Politics of In/Visibility

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, we chart the evolving aesthetic contours of urban metabolism across London, focusing on the River Lea and Thamesmead to the north and south of the River Thames, respectively. We begin in the nineteenth century, when these two sites formed critical nodes within a new sewerage system that relegated the city’s circulatory flows ...

Numerical simulation study of wave dissipation performance of step‐type breakwaters

Engineering Reports
To improve the force endurance capacity of plate breakwaters, a step‐type plate breakwater was proposed. The performance of the step‐type breakwater was investigated by numerical simulation method. First, a two‐dimensional numerical regular wave tank was
