Sedimentary molecular and isotopic markers of intertidal vegetation - a tool for coastal monitoring
Los humedales costeros que albergan ecosistemas de manglares y marismas se clasifican como uno de los ecosistemas más productivos de la Tierra. Han sido reconocidos como sitios de producción de materia orgánica (MO), reciclaje y sumideros de carbono a largo plazo para el CO2 atmosférico.Los …

A Novel Method of Determining Sediment Transport using Ultrasonic Wireless Sensors
… rise has resulted in increased concerns about coastal erosion. Therefore, monitoring of the shoreline, coastal processes and in particular sediment movement, given the dynamic nature of coastal systems, is vital to ensure that erosion response is appropriate. Ideally, monitoring should take …

Effect of internal solitary waves on mine detection in the western Philippine Sea east of Taiwan
… Philippine Sea near Taiwan was sampled using a coastal monitoring buoy with fifteen themistors attached from July 28-August 7, 2005. Internal waves and internal solitons were identifed during the empirical orthogonal function analysis. Without the IW and IS, the power spectra, structure …

High frequency surface wave radar demonstrator
… the globe for the mapping of sea currents and coastal monitoring of the Exclusive Economic Zone. Decision to build an HF radar at the University of Cape Town (UCT) was made by Daniel O’Hagan and Andrew Wilkinson in February 2015 immediately after seeing a demonstration of the CODAR system at …

Improving the spatio-temporal characterisation of South Africa's dynamic coastal zone using hyper-temporal satellite imagery
Coastal zones, the interface between the marine and terrestrial realms, are highly productive regions that deliver critical goods and services, while facing many pressures from urbanisation, industrial development, overexploitation, pollution and climate change. Their effective management is …

Improving the predictability of harmful algal blooms around the Shetland Islands
… of cell abundance measurements from routine coastal monitoring were analysed and have shown that Dinophysis spp. can accumulate very rapidly near Shetland mussel farms. Abundance measurements were compared to environmental conditions to show there is an undeniable link between exceptional …

Low-Cost, Close-Range Digital Photogrammetry for Coastal Cliff Deformation and Beach Monitoring
… rise are now perceived as a real threat to coastal communities across the World, including Wales, where coastal flooding and erosion have become more widespread and accepted. Existing techniques for monitoring the coastal environment are generally very expensive, in particular, remotely …

Oceanographic considerations for the management and protection of surfing breaks
… there is little specific research on surfing and coastal management. Such research is required because coastal engineering has had significant impacts to surfing breaks, both positive and negative. Strategic planning and environmental impact assessment methods, a central tenet of integrated …
