An Automated Model to Classify Barrier Island Geomorphology Using Lidar Data and Change Analysis (1998–2014)

Remote Sensing, 2018
Previous research has documented the usefulness of Lidar data to derive a variety of topographic products (e.g., DEM, DTM, canopy and forest structure, and urban infrastructure). Lidar has been used to map coastal environments and geomorphology; however,

The use of genetic programming to develop a predictor of swash excursion on sandy beaches [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018
We use genetic programming (GP), a type of machine learning (ML) approach, to predict the total and infragravity swash excursion using previously published data sets that have been used extensively in swash prediction studies.

Geologic Framework, Anthropogenic Impacts, and Hydrodynamics Contribute to Variable Sediment Availability and Shoreface Morphology at the Rockaway Peninsula, NY

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
Recent field and modeling studies have shown that barrier island resiliency is sensitive to sediment fluxes from the shoreface, making it important to evaluate how shoreface sediment availability varies in coastal systems.

Soil contamination and transfer dynamics of trace metals to plants and snails in a large urban dumpsite in Northwest Morocco

Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology
Soil contamination by trace metals (TMs) has long been a major environmental issue, posing serious threats to ecosystems and human beings. This study aims to evaluate the contamination levels of soils, plants (Malva sylvestris and Nicotiana glauca), and ...
