Study of installation of prefabricated vertical drain through a geotextile tube bund [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences
Traditional coastal protection and containment structures, such as sand dykes and concrete seawalls and barriers, are increasingly being replaced by geotextile tube bund as a sustainable alternative. In this application, it is common to encounter a layer

Assessment of the amount of Cesium-137 released into the Pacific Ocean after the Fukushima accident and analysis of its dispersion in Japanese coastal waters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
International audienceNumerical modeling was used to provide a new estimate of the amount of 137Cs released directly into the ocean from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (NPP) after the accident in March 2011 and to gain insights into the ...

A LABORATORY STUDY ON WAVE OVERTOPPING AT VERTICAL SEAWALLS WITH A SHINGLE FORESHORE

open access: yesCoastal Engineering Proceedings, 2018
The existing empirical prediction formulae to determine the wave overtopping characteristics are mainly based on the laboratory measurements with the use of an impermeable foreshore slope in front of the structure.

Experimental study on toe scouring at sloping walls with gravel foreshores [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Sea defences, such as urban seawalls can fail due to the development of a scour hole at the toe of the structure. The scour depth or the information on ground levels at the structure toe is required for the sustainable management of coastal defences, due

THE EFFECT OF WIND STRESS ON WAVE OVERTOPPING ON VERTICAL SEAWALL

open access: yesCoastal Engineering Proceedings, 2023
Onshore wind can significantly affect wave overtopping process and increase mean overtopping discharge. Thus, the wind should be an important variable in coastal design process. However, despite many researches have analyzed the influence of wind on the overtopping, there is still a lack of exhaustive knowledge about this phenomenon. To further analyze

Barrier island erosion and overwash study -- effect of seawalls. Volume 2 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
This is the second of a pair of reports documenting the effects of storms on beach systems including the presence of seawalls. With the aim of simulating the effects of overwash on barrier islands with seawalls and characterizing their response, a ...

Automated Feature Extraction and Classification of Submerged Cultural Heritage Assets in the Puck Lagoon via Multisensor Remote Sensing

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a strong framework for the detection and classification of Submerged Cultural Heritage Assets (SCHA) in shallow marine environments using the integration of multibeam echosounder and airborne LiDAR bathymetry with object‐based image analysis and fuzzy logic–based classification.

Overtopping over Vertical Walls with Storm Walls on Steep Foreshores

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
As sea levels rise and extreme weather events become more frequent due to climate change, coastal urban areas are increasingly vulnerable to wave overtopping and flooding.

The spread of non‐native species

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

The impacts of coastal protection structures in California’s Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This report outlines the potential impacts of coastal protection structures on the resources of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. At least 15 miles of the Sanctuary’s 300-mile shoreline are currently armored with seawalls and riprap revetments.
