Based on the spatial statistics of the identified submesoscale eddies and eddy kinetic energy budget analysis, the submesoscale eddies are primarily generated by the detachment of shoreline-following tidal currents at the coastal boundaries, persist for less than 1.5 days, and are dissipated dominantly via vertical buoyancy fluxes associated with bottom bathymetric interactions of the tidal currents. The residual circulation is clearly shown with the nontidal geostrophic currents associated with the pressure gradients generated by wind-driven Ekman transports against the coast and the ageostrophic low-frequency currents.","PeriodicalId":497926,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ...

While more detailed attention in international literature has been given to understanding and predicting beach behaviour under regimes of storm erosion, beaches are for most of the time by nature accretionary features. This paper presents critically important advanced new insight and quantification of recovery processes of sandy beaches by waves. Durations and rates of recovery are synthesised from over 70 studies worldwide in a range of wave climates (from low to high wave energy) and tidal settings (from micro- to macrotidal), with a focus primarily on sandy beach coastlines. A holistic perspective of the different processes and indicators that constitute beach recovery is presented, including those in the subaqueous beach related to the post-storm onshore migration of sandbars and storm deposits in deeper offshore waters, as well as processes in the subaerial beach related to the recovery of subaerial sediment volume, shorelines, berms, and dunes.","PeriodicalId":497926,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ...

Therefore, shoreline development, and the related design and construction of waterfront projects, may have a significant impact on the marine environment, both positive and negative, depending on the location and quality of science, engineering, and marine ecology undertaken during design, construction, and monitoring. Evaluating the physical, ecological, and social impacts of coastal projects after construction is rarely undertaken in any quantitative manner, if at all. As part of our standard process, we include monitoring for a period of 2- 5 years to quantify shoreline stability, water quality impacts, and increases in biological production as well as biodiversity. To determine when environmental arguments against development are valid and to counter those against research due to time and cost pressures, the goal is to identify what is important for minimizing environmental impacts of development.","PeriodicalId":497926,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ...

Geologically speaking, the park sits atop a migratory beach-ridge characterized by sand ridges separated by low wetland swales which are home to over 650 species, some of which are rare and threatened. The land itself provides a visual history of the layering of the primary frontal dune marching lakeward as the beach-ridge migrated south. Human development, however, has stabilized the beach ridge to the north, cutting off sand supply to the park. The very coastal process that created this landform will eventually lead to its ruin. Approaching this problem, a number of hydrodynamic and sediment morphology numerical models were used to determine the areas of highest erosion rate within the park.","PeriodicalId":497926,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ...

In relatively deep water, tidal superposition can be considered an approximately linear process (with the storm-generated water level added to the tide level providing a reasonable total water level). However, in shallow water with restricted access to the ocean, tide and surge superposition can be nonlinear such that simple addition of surge and tide proves inaccurate. The paper and presentation provide an extension of previous work that developed the Modified Linear Superposition (MLS) Method to analyze the interaction of the storm surge with the tide. The method is designed to produce accurate, unbiased results while at the same time not requiring excessive computer resources and time.","PeriodicalId":497926,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ...

We use agent-based modelling (ABM) to investigate multi-hazard interaction and Dynamic Adaptive Pathways Planning (DAPP) to explore the impact of an applied DAPP to work with the deep uncertainty around urban coastal systems.

Recent repairs were completed in 1973, 1975, and 1981. The 1981 repair consisted of a layer of 7.5-ton tribar armor units along 900 feet of the breakwater along the trunk of the structure. The USACE Honolulu District intends to conduct repairs to the Hilo Harbor breakwater within the next 5 to 10 years. A multifaceted analysis has been conducted to optimize future repair design from both an economic investment standpoint, as well as to incorporate evaluation of risk of failure and reliability-based design under projected future forcing conditions. The results of this analysis will be presented including the following: 1) evaluation of breakwater damage using both visual inspection and remote sensing data; 2) an in-depth analysis of present and future breakwater overtopping rates due to extreme waves and sea level rise through the use of spectral phase-averaged wave modeling, Boussinesq phase-resolving models, and high fidelity, fully three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) wave modeling; and 3) initial results of reliability-based design to assess past and present performance and damage modes.","PeriodicalId":497926,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ...
