Shaping research in marine functional connectivity for integrated and effective marine science and management

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effective knowledge of ecological connectivity at sea and at the land–sea interface is key to supporting global policy goals to conserve and restore ocean biodiversity and function. However, a persistent lack of commonality in terminology and understanding around the concept of connectivity in marine ecological studies hampers its integration ...

A numerical study of tidal bores

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2019
Abstract A tidal bore is a natural phenomenon forming a positive surge upstream and it has a remarkable effect on estuary zones and river ecologies. The tidal bore formation controlled by channel properties, tidal characteristics, and river discharge remains a research challenge.

Undular tidal bores: Effect of channel constriction and bridge piers [PDF]

, 2011
A tidal bore may occur in a macro-tidal estuary when the tidal range exceeds 4.5-6 m and the estuary bathymetry amplifies the tidal wave. Its upstream propagation induces a strong mixing of the estuarine waters. The propagation of undular tidal bores was

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Turbulence and turbulent flux events in tidal bores: case study of the undular tidal bore of the Garonne River [PDF]

Environmental Fluid Mechanics, 2017
The tidal bore of the Garonne River (France) was investigated on 29 August, 31 August and 27 October 2015, during which instantaneous velocity measurements were performed continuously at high-frequency (200 Hz). The tidal bore occurrence had a marked effect on the flow field and turbulent Reynolds stress data, indicating large shear stresses, together ...

A Comparative Study on the Irrigation Suitability of Kerala's Rivers Using Fuzzy AHP and Conventional Methods

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food security in Kerala depends on effective irrigation, but poor‐quality irrigation water poses threats such as salinity, sodicity and reduced soil productivity. Although past assessments have been localised, this study presents the first comprehensive, statewide evaluation of irrigation water suitability across 44 major rivers in Kerala.

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.

Geochronology of the Whittlesey sedimentary succession, eastern England: The ‘Pompeii’ of the British late Middle Pleistocene to Holocene record

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The sedimentary succession at Whittlesey preserves a unique British late Middle Pleistocene to Holocene record back to a time equivalent to at least marine oxygen isotope stage 8 (ca. 250 ka). This study builds on previously published sedimentology, geochronology and palaeoecology results to establish 20 sedimentary facies associations, with ...
