Impacts of managed realignment on low-lying coasts
This thesis is focused on the design of advanced suspension systems (active and semi-active) using time-domain optimal control methods. This work has been strongly motivated by the need to develop an approach to active and semi-active suspensions which was ready to be applied directly in a …

Marine algal virus communities along Southern African coasts
… to highly diverse marine environments along its coasts. The main reason for the contrasting environments is the two major boundary currents, the Benguela and Agulhas currents, and their interaction around the tip of South Africa. Algal blooms are known to proliferate predominantly off the …

Hydrogeo-Eco-Systems in Aquaba/Jordan - Coasts and Region
The coast of Aqaba and the Aqaba region (Jordan) were investigated on their hydrogeo-ecosystem. The results of the research were translated into digits to build a geo-spatial data base. The fillings of the graben aquifer receive indirect type of recharge through the side wadis which drain the …

Regional Sea Level Rise Along the United States Coasts
<p>Over the past several years, there has been several studies focused on reconstructing global mean sea level (GMSL) for the 20th century, along with projecting rates out into the future. Of greater importance for mitigation and adaptation plans, however, is the rate of local or regional sea level …

Aspects of Coastal Management with Particular Reference to Heritage Coasts
… Countryside Commission's proposals for Heritage Coasts. Those agencies both public and private having an important role in conserving the coast are identified. Differences in their approaches are discussed with reference to the management philosophy of Heritage Coasts.<br/><br/>Through a case …

Sea ice off the coasts of Iceland in the early 20th Century
… sources of information about sea ice off the coasts of Iceland and presents new indices of sea ice severity for the years 1901-1925. The sea around Iceland is divided into eighteen Zones, each of which is given an icecode, referring to the amount of sea ice that was observed in each month. …

Survey of marine cercariae from the coasts of Marin and Sonoma Counties, California
This study deals with the cercarial fauna of marine mollusks in the littoral zone and estuaries of the California coast between Duxbury Reef and Fort Ross. The investigation began in June, 1968 at the Pacific Marine Station, Dillon Beach, California and continued through July, 1969, with monthly …

Improving wind-based upwelling estimates off the west coasts of North and South America
… 25 sites off the North and South American west coasts from August 1999 to December 2001 using geostrophically derived winds, model-derived winds from the U.S. Navy's global atmospheric (NOGAPS) model, and QuikSCAT satellite-measured winds. Satellite-measured winds, verified with 15 U.S. west …

Development of an integrated coastal management tool for rocky coasts at the algarve study site
… especially along the French, Spanish, Portuguese coasts and the southern coast of the United Kingdom. Although most of the population realizes that the coastal erosion is a problem that needs to be addressed, their focus is mainly on short-term based observations of a rapid erosion. Therefore, …

Computer derived focal mechanisms for selected earthquakes off the south and west coasts of Turkey
Focal mechanisms of earthquakes, two of them in the Gulf of Antalya and one in the eastern Aegean Sea, were determined by using both P-wave polarities and S-wave polarization angles. Additionally, a focal mechanism solution for a third Gulf of Antalya earthquake was determined from P-wave …

Parasite assemblages of three endemic catshark species from the west and south coasts of South Africa
This study focused on the parasite assemblages of three catshark (Elasmobranchii: Scyliorhinidae) species: the dark shyshark, Haploblepharus pictus, the puffadder shyshark, H. edwardsii and the pyjama shark, Poroderma africanum, all endemic to Southern Africa. These sharks are found from Namibia to …

Using seaweed assemblages on intertidal rocky shores to assess the ecological status of Andalusian coasts. Biogeographical implications.
… biogegraphical differences along the European coasts, six ecoregions have been considered for biological indices development (Atlantic, Baltic, North Sea, Barents Sea, Norway Sea and Mediterranean Sea). The geographical position of Andalusia (Southern Spain), as a transition zone between the …

Characteristics of sub-tidal coastal trapped disturbances in sea level along the coasts of Namibia and South Africa
[Page i missing] The sea level disturbances are found not to be free waves but forced waves needing constant forcing in order to propagate. Along the east coast where such forcing is absent, particularly in summer, there is no general propagation. If the forcing extends further eastwards, as …

Measurements of the branchial sieve of sardine (Sardinops sagax ocellatus) from the west and south coasts of southern Africa
… ecosystem while sardine from the west and south coasts of South Africa represented the southern Benguela upwelling ecosystem. Morphometric measurements (gill arch length and gill raker spacing) and counts (number of gill rakers) of branchial sieves on the left side of the first gill arch were …
