Numerical Investigation of Wave Overtopping in Impermeable Seawalls Coated with Sand-Based Porous Media [PDF]

Numerical Methods in Civil Engineering
A seawall's structural integrity can be damaged by wave overtopping. To mitigate wave overtopping, this study investigates the effectiveness of incorporating a porous layer into impermeable seawalls.

Palaeoglaciations in the Polar and Subpolar Ural Mountains

Boreas, EarlyView.
The Ural Mountains form a major physiographic boundary between the East European Plain and West Siberia, both repeatedly glaciated during the Pleistocene by the Barents–Kara ice sheet. Although the present‐day topography reflects significant glacial modification, the extent, chronology and interaction of mountain glaciers with the Barents–Kara ice ...

Beaver dam analogues increase amphibian breeding occupancy and bat activity

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Beavers are ecosystem engineers that can create ponds, increase stream complexity, and enhance biodiversity. To mimic these and other effects, restoration practitioners increasingly install beaver dam analogues (BDAs) in degraded streams.

Overtopping Performance of a Pier-Type Slope-Ramp Breakwater-Integrated Overtopping Wave Energy Converter: An Experimental Study

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Overtopping wave energy converters share a similar geometry with traditional slope-ramp breakwaters, allowing integrated development that simultaneously ensures the basic protection function of the structure and realizes wave energy absorption.

Site conditions and forest stand dynamics impact bottomland hardwood afforestation on wetland reserve easements

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The Wetlands Reserve Easement (WRE) program accounts for the majority of private land afforestation in the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley (LMAV), but consistent ecological monitoring is not often feasible after restoration activities are complete.

COMPARISON OF NUMERICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS FOR OVERTOPPING DISCHARGE OF THE OBREC WAVE ENERGY CONVERTER [PDF]

Journal of Engineering Science and Technology, 2017
OBREC is the latest innovation of overtopping wave energy converter (WEC) which is coalesced with the rubble mound breakwaters. The acquisition of wave overtopping in a front reservoir and consequently releasing process through turbine is the concept of ...

Woodland caribou habitat restoration using lichen transplants: insights from a 24‐year trial

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Lichens are crucial components of many ecosystems and serve as a key winter food source for caribou. In forest‐harvested block reclamation, the focus tends to be on replanting trees and shrubs, often overlooking lichens. Objectives This study examined the effect of different transplanting methods on the success of lichen ...

Beyond barriers: fish assemblage recovery following dam removal on the Cuyahoga River, a Lake Erie tributary

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Dam removals are increasing globally, yet ecological outcomes vary widely because biological recovery depends on post‐removal connectivity and access to source populations. We evaluated how multiple dam removals and remaining fragmentation influenced fish assemblage recovery in the Cuyahoga River (OH, United States), a historically polluted Great Lakes

Numerical Approach for Predicting Levee Overtopping in River Curves Through Dimensionless Parameters

Applied Sciences
Recent climate changes have led to an increase in flood intensity, often resulting in frequent levee overtopping, which causes significant human and property damage.

High and dry: the persistence of diverse coastal marsh communities depends on available upland area and connection to surrounding waters

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Sea‐level‐rise and alterations to natural hydrology have contributed to coastal land loss. To combat coastal land loss and maintain the ecosystem services provided by marshes, marsh creation has been broadly implemented. Marsh creation projects can be performed in conjunction with the construction of elevated terrestrial ridges that seek to mimic ...
