Papers and Proceedings of The Royal Society of Tasmania, 1986 Nearshore macrohabitats are broadly classified into three distinct types: sedimentary (soft-bottom), reef (hard-bottom) and pelagic (open water) habitats. In addition to substrate type, their biotic compositions are controlled by environmental factors such as depth and wave exposure. These habitats are distributed in a distinctive pattern around Tasman

Dynamic Characteristics in the Nearshore Area
Coastal Engineering 1980, 1980 A detailed discussion is made on the dynamic characteristics of waves and wave-induced currents in the nearshore area by using the laboratory and field investigation data collected during the last few years. The main purposes of this paper are to get the insight on the precise mechanism of the nearshore dynamic phenomena and to evaluate critically the ...

The 2025 Kamchatka Earthquake and Tsunami: Cascading Impacts and Risks to Japan
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT On July 29th, 2025, a large earthquake (Mw 8.8) occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. This event caused a tsunami that reached Japan's Pacific coast, even though the source was far away. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of earthquakes and tsunamis and discuss how they relate to the recurrence possibility and risk in Japan.

MODELLING OF A NEARSHORE PLACED SAND MOUND [PDF]
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2012 Nearshore placement of sand is becoming a more popular option in two related types of coastal engineering projects: beach nourishment and inlet dredging. Placing the sand in the nearshore instead of directly on the beach can reduce the costs of a beach nourishment project (Douglass 1995); furthermore, the environmental impact to the beach and dune ...
