Accurate predictions may assist decision makers to implement appropriate evacuation plans necessary for the wellbeing of citizens. Coastal modeling is a key tool used to foresee hurricanes, storm surge, and flooding. Of the many models implemented, ADCIRC, a project of the University of North Carolina, seems to hold much promise. Our objectives in this study were multifold. First, we ascertained the current limitations of the ADCIRC model. We achieved this goal through a variety of means including ADCIRC benchmarks on single and multiple clusters as well as a gprof profile of ADCIRC on a single cluster. Then, based on the information obtained from these efforts, we suggested appropriate improvements to optimize ADCIRC. With the achievement of these objectives, we hope ADCIRC will become a vital tool in developing accurate evacuation plans under duress that will aid in saving a countless number of lives.","PeriodicalId":51078,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Coastal Research","volume":"42 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140368505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A New Environmental Indicator for Coastal Artificialisation and Resilience Mapping. Journal of Coastal Research, SI 50 (Proceedings of the 9th International Coastal Symposium), 67 – 71. Gold Coast, Australia, ISSN 0749.0208 Scientists and managers have developed and improved coastal protection and sustainable development measures. However, analysis and diagnostic methods are less than satisfactory when coping with the true complexity of socio economic drivers in coastal areas. Mapping of land use and its temporal variability in the coastal lands enables a first order approximation to the analysis of artificialisation although it shows a snap shot of the situation. An indicator which compares the evolution of land uses over a significant time span in the evolution of a developed coast as well as its spatial behaviour is introduced in this paper. The method, applied on the highly developed coastlines of Torremolinos in Costa del Sol, southern Spain, involves (i) mapping of a series of photo interpreted land use coverage stretching over 40 years; (ii) the implementation of a new algorithm that identifies land use change and calculates distance of change in relation to shoreline across a 1 km. buffer fringe; and (iii) transposing land use variability by qualifying via the concept of resilience onto the mapped shoreline to enable cartographic output of the analysis. Results of the implementation of the method on the selected pilot site and timeframe illustrate a high capability to interpret resilience (beyond sole scientist’s perception). The process of artificialisation is quantified and represented on a map which helps locating areas of potential high and low resilience (as in capacity to recover) given the trends. This is illustrated by mapped results and a final resilience map that could be of use for future decision making in the context of coastal management of developed coasts.","PeriodicalId":51078,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Coastal Research","volume":"9 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140365849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Beach Carrying Capacity: Has it been exceeded on the Gold Coast? Journal of Coastal Research, SI 50 (Proceedings of the 9 th International Coastal Symposium), 21 – 24. Gold Coast, Australia, ISSN 0749.0208. Australia has more than 70,000 kilometres of coastline, 7000 km of those in Queensland. The beach has long occupied a special place in the Australian identity. The beaches are not only important to the Australian people but they are also a highly valuable tourist resource and with the number of tourists visiting the Gold Coast steadily increasing each year, determining their carrying capacity is an essential factor for their effective use and management. This study explored the concept of social carrying capacity, as well as the way Gold Coast beaches are used by locals and visitors. For the social carrying capacity concepts, several user counts using beach web camera images and more than 160 personal interviews were conducted at four different Gold Coast beaches, exploring coastal perception and beach usage. Preliminary results have revealed details including that while the majority of people surveyed thought beach crowds were perfect in their current state, 79% of the remaining respondents indicated carrying capacity had already been exceeded; that is that with Gold Coast beaches were perceived as either over-crowded or that they could do with fewer people. Through the analysis of interviews with beach users during April, 2006 and previously with University students in 2005, this paper explores the perception of beach users, with the aim of creating an understanding of their behaviour and attitudes and liasing with them in future planning and management processes used by local councils.","PeriodicalId":51078,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Coastal Research","volume":"66 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140366289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The numerical simulations have revealed that geometrical sediment scaling gives similarity in the boundary layer flow but the sediment transport mode switches from bedload in the prototype to suspended-load in the model. This is due to the high relation of prototype to model sediment sizes. However, scaling to maintain the relative fall speed allows smaller sediment size relations and closer similarity in the dominant transport processes. A set of corrections have been proposed to minimise the scaling effects in sediment transport rates and bottom evolution.","PeriodicalId":51078,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Coastal Research","volume":"93 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140366336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
