Internal tide generation by tall ocean ridges
Internal tides are internal waves of tidal period generated by tidal currents flowing over submarine topography. Tall ridges that are nominally two-dimensional (2-D) are sites of particularly strong generation. The subsequent dissipation of internal tides contributes to ocean mixing, thereby …

Tide-influenced contaminant transport in coastal aquifers
… numerical and experimental studies conclude that tides can have a significant impact on contaminant transport, especially when under unconfined conditions, subject to moderate to high tidal amplitude, with low flow velocity, and within areas adjacent to the coastal boundary. Quantitatively, under …

The ocean tide beneath the Ross Ice Shelf
Measurements of the ocean tide beneath the Ross Ice Shelf by a gravimetric method at five locations (79.3°S, 189.7°W; 79.8°S, 169.1°W; 80.2°S, 161.6°W; 82.5°S, 166.0°W; 78.2°S, 162.3°W), and conventional sea level measurements at one location (77.9°S, 193.4°W), show that the diurnal constituents of …

Long-term morphological response of tide dominated estuaries
Most estuaries of the world are influenced by tides. The tidal action is a fundamental mechanism for mixing river and estuarine waters, resuspending and transporting sediments and creating bedforms. The planform of tide-dominated estuaries is characterized by a funnel-shaped geometry with a high …

The battle to stem the tide of decline
This thesis’ core aim is to understand the role that intra-party factionalism has in two major social democratic parties – the Labour Party and the SPD, respectively – on the parties’ responses to electoral decline. To so do, a review of the changing social, political, economic and electoral …

The Jungle Tide: “Collapse” in Early Mediaeval Sri Lanka
This thesis reassesses the Early Mediaeval “collapse” of Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka, through explicit reference to the archaeological record. The study of Anuradhapura’s terminal period has been dominated by a reliance upon textual sources, resulting in a monocausal and politically charged narrative …

Tranverse Deck Reinforcement for Use in Tide Mill Bridge
The objective of the research presented in this thesis was to study and optimize the transverse deck reinforcement for a skewed concrete bridge deck supported by Hybrid Composite Beams (HCB's). An HCB consists of a Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer outer shell, a concrete arch, and high strength seven …

TIDE TO TAP: A STRATEGIC ROADMAP FOR DESALINATION IN ARIZONA
Arizona is on the brink of a water crisis due to long-term drought conditions and a persistently rising population. In response to this crisis, politicians in Arizona have allocated $1 billion to explore the potential of new water sources, including desalination. Yet despite the potential of …

Dispersion of material by wind and tide in shallow seas
Mixing processes in shallow seas are of particular importance in the dispersion of pollution (e.g. oil slicks) as well as in the distribution of sediment and biological material (e.g. phytoplankton and fish larvae). This study aims to further investigate the processes of wind-driven Langmuir …
