Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Principal components analysis was used to quantify subaerial and subaqueous summer to winter nearshore morphological change on the North Carolina coast near Duck. The first two eigenvectors explained 61.1% of the total variance. El (35.4% of the variance) is a profile rotation and E2 (25.7% of the variance) is a bar/trough function. Two major periods of change were found. High pressure systems in October and extratropical cyclones in November were the weather systems implicated in these changes. These storms caused the profiles to become dissipative. Steepness declined and two bars replaced a single bar profile form. A relationship between pre-existing morphology and subsequent changes in the equilibrium bar/trough morphology was observed during the storm period. Wave characteristics (height, period, steepness, direction, and breaker type) could not be associated with profile changes. The simultaneous offshore sediment movement across three well-defined zones of the shorezone suggest that shore-normal edge waves may be the dominant causative agent for these changes.

Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by Wade H. Shafer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1 957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 28 (thesis year 1 983) a total of 10,661 theses titles from 26 Canadian and 197 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 28 reports theses submitted in-1983, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Asadi and published by Laxmi Book Publication. This book was released on 2023-11-18 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The properties of sediment particles, transportation and their deposition in the sedimentary environments can be deciphered by the granumlometric studies, which also provide critical information regarding sedimentary provenance and depositional conditions. Many factors like currents and wave activities, offshore and onshore movements, transgression and regression of the sea levels, periodic storms, confluence of streams, rivulets and rivers into the oceans can influence the grain size in the depositional environments. Variations in the size of the grains reflect various earth surface processes viz., developmental processes of landforms. So, many researchers from all over the world carried out panoptic research and emphasized the significance of granulometric analysis to understand and to distinguish various depositional environments viz., estuarine, lacustrine, fluvial and marine etc., in particular in the coastal realms.
Download or read book Mitigating Shore Erosion Along Sheltered Coasts written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-05-04 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like ocean beaches, sheltered coastal areas experience land loss from erosion and sea level rise. In response, property owners often install hard structures such as bulkheads as a way to prevent further erosion, but these structures cause changes in the coastal environment that alter landscapes, reduce public access and recreational opportunities, diminish natural habitats, and harm species that depend on these habitats for shelter and food. Mitigating Shore Erosion Along Sheltered Coasts recommends coastal planning efforts and permitting policies to encourage landowners to use erosion control alternatives that help retain the natural features of coastal shorelines.
