Onshore-Offshore Sediment Movement on a Beach

Coastal Engineering 1978, 1978
A theoretical model is developed for the movement of loose sediments in oscillatory flow with or without a net current. In the present formulation the model is two-dimensional, but may readily be extended to three dimensions. It is assumed that all movement of sediments occurs in suspension, and exact analytical solutions are given for the time ...

The Glacial Legacy of the Geneva Basin: Morphology and implications of an intricate tunnel valley system revealed from 3D seismic data

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Like other perialpine basins and glaciated margins, the Geneva Basin in SW Switzerland is characterised by buried tunnel valleys, which are elongated incisions widely attributed to subglacial meltwater erosion beneath continental ice sheets. However, an inclusive understanding of the geological control on the evolution of the glacial landscape

Raman Line Scan Analyses and a New Hypothesis for the Formation of Anatase‐Hosting Microbialites: Study of the Stromatolites From Saint‐Jean‐de‐la‐Rivière, Cotentin, France

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Micrometer analysis of millimeter lines of Raman spectra concludes in the association of anatase and graphitized organic matter (graphogen). The photosynthetic microorganisms at the origin of the microbialites produce O2, which is transformed by TiO2 into reactive species that, in turn, decompose the organic matter of the microorganisms. ABSTRACT Raman

A novel approach for in situ benthic habitat characterization

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Habitat heterogeneity is a key driver of temporal and spatial variability of subtidal marine benthic biodiversity. However, this makes it a challenging environment in which to measure and quantify the factors driving biodiversity in a consistent manner.

Semi‐Analytical Solution of Time‐Harmonic Soil–Pile Interaction Using Love Numbers in Transversely Isotropic and Layered Half‐Spaces

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An efficient semi‐analytical approach based on the Fourier–Bessel series (FBS) system of vector functions and the stiffness matrix method is proposed to study the dynamic response of axially loaded piles embedded in transversely isotropic (TI) layered soil.

Vectors of Defects in Reinforced Concrete Structures in Onshore Oil and Gas Process Plants

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2018
There is a global outcry over the speedy deterioration of structures in oil and gas facilities. While marine environment is considered the leading factor in the deterioration of offshore structures, there is no single factor considered as the main cause ...

3D effects of seawater on electrical resistivity tomography near shorelines—Challenges and possible solutions inferred from synthetic and field data

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is one of the most widely used geophysical techniques for hydrogeological questions, such as investigating the groundwater transition zone between land and sea. The interpretation of 2D coast‐parallel ERT profiles is challenging because most of the electrical current flows through the highly conductive ...
