Impact of and adaptation strategies for sea-level rise on Yangtze River Delta
Advances in Climate Change Research, 2018 The Yangtze River Delta characterized by a dense population and a rapidly developing economy is highly vulnerable to sea-level rise. The data from the China Oceanic Information Network and the Zhejiang Provincial Hydrology Bureau are used to analyze sea ...

Mobile consumers influence the shoreward edge of intertidal seagrass ecosystems
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Ecological paradigms suggest that the environmentally stressful edge of a habitat is determined by physical factors. The work finds that, counter to these paradigms, an environmentally stressful edge can also be impacted by biotic interactions and are more complex than suggested.

Minimal analytical model for undular tidal bore profile; quantum and Hawking effect analogies
New Journal of Physics, 2018 Waves travelling up-river, driven by high tides, often consist of a smooth front followed by a series of undulations. A simple approximate theory gives the rigidly travelling profile of such ‘undular hydraulic jumps’, up to scaling, as the integral of ...

Unsteady Turbulence in Tidal Bores: Effects of Bed Roughness [PDF]
Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 2010 A tidal bore is a wave propagating upstream as the tidal flow turns to rising. It forms during spring tide conditions when the flood tide is confined to a narrow funneled channel. To date, theoretical and numerical studies rely upon physical experiments to validate the developments, but the experimental data are limited mostly to visual observations ...

Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article examines the militarization of white settler women during the Kenya Emergency (1952–1960), analyzing how their armed participation disrupted and reconfigured colonial gender norms. Drawing on visual and textual archival and newspaper sources, this article explores representations of settler women as maternal guardians of the ...

Direct Evidence for Bottom-fishing in Archaeological Whelks (Buccinum undatum)
Internet Archaeology, 2014 Bottom-fishing is a major step in the increase of exploitation of marine resources, requiring specialised craft, technology, and practitioners. However, the onset and development of bottom-fishing is almost impossible to observe directly in the ...

Field Measurements of Unsteady Turbulence in a Tidal Bore: the Garonne River in October 2013 [PDF]
, 2015 A tidal bore is an unsteady rapidly-varied open channel flow generated by the swift advance of the early flood tide in a funnel-shaped river estuary when the tidal range exceeds 4.5 to 6 m.

The Political Ecology of the ‘New’ Feminism in Late‐1990s Britain
Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The 1990s were a vexed time for feminists in Britain. Cultural commentators declared that feminism's key battles had been won, and that given women's ascendency across various political and cultural barometers of success, the country was entering a newly ‘postfeminist’ era.
