Black mangrove growth and root architecture in recycled glass sand: testing a new substrate for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
As coastal regions experience accelerating land loss, artificial substrates may be useful in restoration efforts to replenish sediment and facilitate plant colonization. Recycled glass sand is a potential artificial substrate for marsh building due to its sustainability, availability, and similarity to natural substrates.

Nonlinear seismic response characteristics of a coral island site

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2019
The seismic safety evaluation of the coral islands in the South China Sea is an urgent and fundamental scientific issue. For a coral island in the South China Sea, the cyclic triaxial tests on 16 sets of saturated coral sand samples are performed.

ALB Evaluation for NOAA charting requirements [PDF]

, 2013
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) acquires hydrographic data around the coasts of the US and its territories using in-house surveys and contracting resources. Hydrographic data are primarily collected using sonar systems, while a

Propagation method and species drive survival patterns across reef zones in coral seeding on the Great Barrier Reef

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coral reef restoration increasingly relies on scalable methods, yet outcomes vary across species, propagation techniques, and habitats. Coral seeding, where coral propagules are settled on deployment units before outplanting, provides a flexible approach that accommodates both asexual (e.g. microfragments) and sexual (e.g.

Towards a historical ecology of intertidal foraging in the Mafia Archipelago: archaeomalacology and implications for marine resource management

, 2019
Understanding the timing and nature of human influence on coastal and island ecosystems is becoming a central concern in archaeological research, particularly when investigated within a historical ecology framework.

Bio‐mediated cementation of supratidal beach sediments associated with groundwater springs

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The formation of beachrock, sensu stricto, via carbonate precipitation in the intertidal zone is widespread throughout the tropics and subtropics. While cementation of supratidal beach sediments has also been noted in several locations, it has received much less attention.

Study of the Particle Breakage Characteristics of Coral Sand Under the Effect of Freezing–Seepage Coupling

Applied Sciences
In the development and construction of the South China Sea (SCS), coral sand is a kind of common natural construction material. Sanya submarine tunnel is the first application of artificial ground freezing (AGF) in the SCS. Since the tunnel is located at

Formation process of the gravel‐dominated deposit from the 2011 Tohoku‐oki tsunami in Ofunato, northeastern Japan, inferred by integrating sedimentology and tsunami modelling

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tsunami deposits serve as geological records of past events and are essential for understanding the occurrence and dynamics of tsunamis. However, conventional research has largely focused on sandy and boulder deposits, leaving gravel‐dominated tsunami deposits comparatively underexplored; furthermore, their characteristics and formation ...
