ASSESSING FLOOD IMPACTS IN RURAL COASTAL COMMUNITIES USING LIDAR [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016 Coastal communities are vulnerable to floods from storm events which are further exacerbated by storm surges. Additionally, coastal towns provide specific challenges during flood events as many coastal communities are peninsular and vulnerable to ...

Uncertainty assessment of concrete electrical resistivity measurements on a coastal bridge [PDF]
Structure and Infrastructure Engineering, 2019 During the diagnosis of existing structures, errors can be generated by uncertainty of measurements. The latter are affected by several factors and should be evaluated on-site. In this paper, a large data of resistivity values (1800 measurements) measured on a bridgein a marine environment has been gathered utilizing a four electrodes probe under ...

Barriers and Bridges in Abating Coastal Eutrophication [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 Over the past 30 years concerted campaigns have been undertaken to reverse nutrient-driven eutrophication in coastal waters in Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia. Typically, eutrophication abatement has proven a more recalcitrant challenge than anticipated, with ecosystem improvements only recently beginning to emerge or falling short of goals.
