Coastal Ecology: Living Shorelines Reduce Coastal Erosion [PDF]

Current Biology, 2019
Benefits derived from natural ecosystems are commonly mentioned as justification for protecting and restoring habitats, yet measuring these services can be challenging. New research quantitatively assessed an ecosystem service provided by coastal marshes and revealed that removal of smooth cordgrass significantly increased coastal erosion, clearly ...

Coastal Erosion Vulnerability in Mainland China Based on Fuzzy Evaluation of Cloud Models

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Global climate change-induced sea-level rise and storm wave intensification, along with the large population densities and high-intensity human development activities in coastal areas, have caused serious burden and damage to China’s coasts, led to the ...

Variability in terrestrial characteristics and erosion rates on the Alaskan Beaufort Sea coast

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
Arctic coastal environments are eroding and rapidly changing. A lack of pan-Arctic observations limits our ability to understand controls on coastal erosion rates across the entire Arctic region.

Duplex Stainless Steel Laser‐Surface Textured: Stability in Brine Solution

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Controlled laser‐surface treatment (LST) of duplex DSS2205 steel is performed to increase its stability in brine solution under cyclic electrochemical assays. The superior protection with respect to flat and smooth panels is attributed to the presence of FeCr2O4 as the main protective oxide layer in the LST surface, after corrosion tests. The stability

Short- and long-term thermo-erosion of ice-rich permafrost coasts in the Laptev Sea region [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2013
Permafrost coasts in the Arctic are susceptible to a variety of changing environmental factors all of which currently point to increasing coastal erosion rates and mass fluxes of sediment and carbon to the shallow arctic shelf seas. Rapid erosion along

Tri–Band and Dual–Response Smart Windows With Asymmetric Mid–Infrared Emissivity for Year–Round Energy Conservation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Our promising smart window exhibits exceptional optical properties, enabling the indoor temperature reduction of 12°C during summer and delivering the annual energy savings of 14.2%–24.4% across mid–to–low latitudes. ABSTRACT Building energy consumption accounts for 20%–40% of global energy usage, with windows among the least energy–efficient ...

Vulnerability to watershed erosion and coastal deposition in the tropics

Scientific Reports, 2021
Over half of the global population is projected to live in the tropics by 2050. Sustainable land development will be challenged by enhanced sediment erosion and deposition, which can negatively impact water quality and ecosystem services in inland and ...
