Numerical simulation of the effects of sea level rise on estuarine processes
The increasing concentration of carbon monoxide and other gases in the earth’s atmosphere is expected to cause temperatures on earth to increase. This condition, known as the greenhouse effect, could cause the sea level to rise due to the partial melting of the polar icecaps and the thermal …

Control of salinity intrusion caused by sea level rise
… impacts of sea level rise on our nation's estuarine environments and water resources management. Specific engineering solutions to control salinity intrusion are studied. Structure measures such as construction of tidal barriers, tidal locks, and through long term stream flow augmentation …

Spatial and temporal analysis of heavy metals in surface waters, bed sediments and suspended sediments of the River Stour, East Kent, U.K.
… immobile oxidisable fraction, suggesting that estuarine processes effectively promote the liberation of elements from the sediment compartment to surface waters. Total catchment annual suspended sediment yield, (190 t/km2/yr), is consistent with previous research work detailing the annual yield …

Hydrodynamics and freshwater diversion within Barataria Basin
In order to understand the physical processes in the Barataria estuary, a previously developed two-dimensional, depth-integrated hydrodynamic model is applied to simulate estuarine processes. The equations for conservation of mass and momentum predict specific physical processes when forced by …

Freshwater inflows to estuaries : organic carbon and microbial food webs in south-east Australia
… inflows (FWI) play a crucial role in maintaining estuarine processes and productivity. River regulation and extraction have greatly reduced FWI to estuaries. Little attention has been paid to the role FWI has in delivering organic carbon to estuaries. The aim of this thesis was to define the …

Re-presenting the Waterfront: revealing the intersection of human and natural processes
… This study challenges the author's design processes and understanding of the landscape as the sculpted meeting ground, intersecting human and natural physical processes. It progresses from assumptions through collaborated ideas of others in a literature review through case studies of …
