Stakeholder-led science: engaging resource managers to identify science needs for long-term management of floodplain conservation lands

Ecology and Society, 2016
Floodplains pose challenges to managers of conservation lands because of constantly changing interactions with their rivers. Although scientific knowledge and understanding of the dynamics and drivers of river-floodplain systems can provide guidance to ...

Forecasts of Wave-Induced Coastal Hazards in the United States Pacific Islands: Past, Present, and the Future

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
This paper summarizes the existing coastal hazard forecast methods of PacIOOS, such as wave-induced run-up, by focusing on the critical components that need to be addressed in order to improve these forecasts and make them more accurate and available to ...

Modelling Coastal Flooding Induced by Wave Overtopping Using SCHISM Coupled with EurOtop

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Coastal cities protected by artificial structures are vulnerable to wave overtopping during typhoons, where flooding can occur even when the still water level stays below the structure crest.

Accelerating the Height Increase of Mersawa (Anisoptera marginata) Seedlings through Inundation Height with and without Water Treatments

Jurnal Sylva Lestari
Deforestation on peatlands in Indonesia has become an important issue. To restore the peatland condition, planting native tree species such as mersawa (Anisoptera marginata) is required.
