A method for predicting future shorelines based on weighted-Markov-chains

open access: yesGeocarto International
Shoreline migration can directly reflect the stability of marine ecology, and human beings may be reminded to protect shorelines. However, shoreline migration has considerable randomness, and each segment of the shoreline has undergone highly diverse ...

QUANTIFICATION OF SHORELINE RHYTHMICITY

open access: yesCoastal Engineering Proceedings, 1984
The study of beach morphology, for example, its changes with wave and tide conditions, is facilitated by the development of simple numerical values which characterize the morphology. Multivariate (EOF) analysis of topographic contour data is a means for determining important morphologic components which vary independently.

Forging environmentalism: The influence of childhood nature experiences on people's pro‐biodiversity value orientations and attitudes

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract With the rapid expansion of transnational biodiversity policy instruments promoting large‐scale landscape transformations that depend on public support for their success and feasibility, understanding the mechanisms underlying pro‐biodiversity attitudes has become important.

Using Modern Photogrammetric Techniques to Map Historical Shorelines and Analyze Shoreline Change Rates: Case Study on Bodie Island, North Carolina. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The efficacy of coastal development regulations in North Carolina is dependent on accurately calculated shoreline erosion rates. North Carolina's current methodology for regulatory erosion rate calculation does not take advantage of emerging GIS ...

The role of the synoptic‐scale conditions in driving fog and mist during the FATIMA July 2022 Sable Island Field program

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
ERA5 hourly 325‐m and 1512‐m (a) convergence and (b) vertical motion (actually pressure change with sign reversed to compare with convergence) over Sable Island around the time of an event. The mist (green) and fog (red) occurrences at the surface station are shown at the bottom of the figures. A 325‐m fitted line convergence was positive for the first

Nearshore Wave Transformation Domains from Video Imagery

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019
Within the nearshore area, three wave transformation domains can be distinguished based on the wave properties: shoaling, surf, and swash zones.

Effects of sediment grain size and seasonal changes on macrobenthic community structure inhabiting the south and southeastern parts of the Caspian Sea shoreline [PDF]

open access: yesبوم‌شناسی آبزیان, 2021
In this study, we investigated the effects of sediment grain size and seasonal change on the structure of macrobenthic communities in the south and southeastern shorelines of the Caspian Sea for one year using a hand corer.

Theoretical Forms of Shorelines

open access: yesCoastal Engineering 1964, 1960
Laboratory tests say that the littoral transport by waves reaches a maximum value when the waves approach the shore obliquely. In some way this must lead to peculiarities in the forms of shorelines. Therefore we put the question what types of shorelines can mathematically exist assuming the littoral transport is ruled by the function sin 2oC where c<

Development and Improvement of Habitat Suitability Criteria for Instream Habitat Assessments Conducted in Support of Environmental Flows in Florida

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Florida's regulatory framework requires the establishment of minimum flows to protect aquatic ecosystems and water resources from significant harm. One of the primary methods used to evaluate significant harm is assessment of instream habitat, which relies on Habitat Suitability Criteria (HSC) curves that relate flow regimes and habitat ...
