ABSTRACT In supply chain capitalism, logistics operates as a spatial power, reorganizing territories according to imperatives of circulation, efficiency and control. Focusing on the Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Mexico, this article argues that logistics can only materialize in territory through violence. It conceptualizes this

Abstract This field study investigated how oyster canopy density modulates hydrodynamics of natural intertidal oyster reef. High‐resolution velocity measurements were taken simultaneously within and above oyster canopies of variable density (solid volume fractions, Ø=$$ \mathrm{\O}= $$ 0.04–0.21).

WAVE DIFFRACTION AND TRANSMISSION BY A SUBMERGED BREAKWATER
The wave field around a rectangular submerged breakwater is investigated by means of an experiment in numerical wave flume. The results were compared with those obtained making use of the Boundary Element Method. The numerical experiment is carried out to determine the share of the incident wave energy that are reflected, dissipated over the roof of ...

Coastal Marine Carbon and Air‐Sea Fluxes Quantified From pH Sensors on an Extended AUV Deployment
Abstract For the first time, the Autosub Long Range (ALR) completed a fully autonomous, long‐distance (2,000 km) scientific mission, delivering new insight into coastal carbonate dynamics and air‐sea CO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$ fluxes. Equipped with a suite of oceanographic sensors, including a Lab‐on‐Chip (LOC) pH sensor and a Sea‐Bird SeaFET pH sensor, the

Abstract Lateral erosion of salt marshes via cliff retreat is a primary cause of global marsh loss, driven by interactions between hydrodynamics, sediment, and vegetation. While previous studies show a linear relationship between wave power and cliff retreat, models based on this relationship are largely unvalidated for short‐term (sub‐yearly) and ...

The non-hydrostatic numerical model NHWAVE was employed to investigate the hydrodynamic behavior of a coastal region with submerged breakwater, focusing on the structural dimensions and incident wave conditions. In the numerical experiment, regular waves

Influence of Submerged Breakwater on Longshore Currents
Submerged breakwater is a kind of commonly used maritime sheltering structures, so it is necessary to accurately grasp the hydrodynamic characteristics before and after the submerged breakwater. Based on the longshore current experiment in harbor, taking the trapezoid submerged breakwater as the research object, this paper analyzes the influence of ...

Submerged modular breakwaters for coastal protection [PDF]
Submerged breakwaters are widely used for establishment and protection of coastal wetlands; nevertheless, construction of breakwaters in the sea domain has always been a challenge to engineers. This research introduces a number of submerged breakwaters that are made of a plurality of rectangular/triangular concrete modules.

Abstract Winter storms present a major erosional hazard to subaqueous deltas globally, but the associated dynamic mechanisms are still not well understood. Using high‐resolution in situ data collected over a 3‐week period in the abandoned Yellow River subaqueous delta, this study employs three‐dimensional quadrant analysis to examine turbulent ...
