Abstract:

The action of sea storms is one of the most complex littoral processes with deep management implications. Along the Catalan shoreline which is about 700 km long, 190 km are subject to erosion and/or flooding. Around one million people live in areas potentially affected. Sea Level Rise could exacerbate this problem in the near future. Reactive interventions have been the norm in coastal engineering and management. This dissertation proposes a pre-storm strategy that foster cost-effective eco-compatible measures, termed Quick Defence Measures (QDM). Pre-storm intervention requires to forecast th

Abstract:

Beach protection is today emerging as one of the most relevant environmental issues at the global level. The increasing vulnerability of beaches to human impact and the effect of climate change are determining an increasing risk which implies a significant socioeconomic threat. In fact, erosion of beaches and coastlines is observed with increasing frequency, with implications on the societal resilience to natural hazards. Several different techniques can be applied for protecting beaches and the seashore, ranging from structural methods to green and innovative solutions that are the subject of

Abstract:

A spatial-temporal model is developed for modelling the impacts of simulated coastal zone storm surge and flooding using a combined spatial mapping and system dynamics approach. By coupling geographic information systems (GIS) and system dynamics, the interconnecting components of the spatial-temporal model are used with limited historical data to evaluate storm damage. Overlapping cumulative effects layers in GIS (ArcMap) are used for describing the coastal community’s profile, and a system dynamics feedback model (STELLA) is developed to define the interconnecting component relationships of

A new fully coupled, unstructured grid, three-dimensional coastal morphodynamic model system is developed in this research. Based on two original independent models, i.e. the original unstructured-grid version of the third generation spectral wave model Simulating WAves Nearshore (UnSWAN) and the original Finite Volume Coastal Ocean Model (FVCOM), the development of this model system is achieved by accomplishing the following procedures: Coupling UnSWAN with FVCOM to enable the full representation of the wave-current interaction in the nearshore region, by building a new wave-current coupling

Abstract:

Tropospheric Ozone Depletion Events (ODEs) have been known to occur during springtime in polar regions for over 20 years. During such events, ozone concentrations can fall from background amounts to below instrumental detection limits within a few minutes and remain suppressed for on the order of hours to days. The chemical destruction of ozone is driven by halogens (especially bromine radicals) that have a source associated with the sea ice zone. There is much debate over the source of bromine radicals in the atmosphere that drive polar boundary layer ODEs and few observations of speciated in

Abstract:

Coastal flooding poses serious threats to coastal areas around the world, billions of dollars in damage to property and infrastructure, and threatens the lives of millions of people. Therefore, disaster management and risk assessment aims at detecting vulnerability and capacities in order to reduce coastal flood disaster risk. In particular, non-specialized researchers, emergency management personnel, and land use planners require an accurate, inexpensive method to determine and map risk associated with storm surge events and long-term sea level rise associated with climate change.

Trinity, East, and Wine Islands make up the eastern half of the Isles Dernieres barrier arc in south-central Louisiana.

Wave ravinement on the shoreface of the islands is responsible for the most sediment loss; liberated sediment travels longshore to tidal inlets. The dominant ebb tidal currents then transport

The increasing risk of river flooding or coastal submersion is already visible through recent events like the storm Xynthia and the floods in the Var department, which caused several dozens of deaths in France.

However, the consequences for the population would be much more serious when large cities of hundreds of thousands of people will be partially or totally threatened by floods.
