A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

Storm Surge Clusters, Multi-Peak Storms and Their Effect on the Performance of the Maeslant Storm Surge Barrier (The Netherlands)

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Storm surge barriers are crucial for the flood protection of the Netherlands and other deltas. In the Netherlands, the reliability of flood defenses is typically assessed based on extreme water levels and wave height statistics.

Rebound Effects in Circular Manufacturing: Overview of Potential Rebound Mechanisms Activated by Circular Strategies Across Key Business Processes

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular economy (CE) is increasingly adopted by the manufacturing industry to decouple economic growth from environmental impacts by optimizing resource use and minimizing waste generation. Nevertheless, circular manufacturing often triggers systemic responses that diminish or offset their potential environmental gains, resulting in the so ...

Trend of landfalling tropical cyclones in the East China Sea and their storm surge response [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
In recent years, the influence of global tropical cyclones (TCs) has a tendency to expand towards the polar direction, and the proportion of high-intensity TCs has also increased greatly.

COMPUTATION OF STORM SURGE

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1970
From knowledge of wind resistance coefficients measured over the sea, it is possible to compute the shear stress of a wind field on its surface Where a body of water is relatively shallow, such a shear stress will transport water to the downwind end and so create a high water level or surge Graphs are presented for ready application of the relevant ...

Three-Dimensional Storm Surge Computations [PDF]

Geophysical Journal International, 1974
Summary The method for three-dimensional storm surge computation proposed by Heaps is modified by removing the bottom frictional stress from the vertical eigenfunction expansion. The stress is applied externally on each vertical column of fluid. Calculations on a simplified model show that the technique does not alter the response of the sea from ...

Bayesian inverse ensemble forecasting for COVID‐19

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Variations in strains of COVID‐19 have a significant impact on the rate of surges and on the accuracy of forecasts of the epidemic dynamics. The primary goal for this article is to quantify the effects of varying strains of COVID‐19 on ensemble forecasts of individual “surges.” By modelling the disease dynamics with an SIR model, we solve the ...

Prediction of storm surge in the Pearl River Estuary based on data-driven model

Frontiers in Marine Science
Storm surges, a significant coastal hazard, cause substantial damage to both property and lives. Precise and efficient storm surge models are crucial for long-term risk assessment and guiding emergency management decisions.
