Construction and comparative analysis of an environmental integration evaluation model for the Qingdao bathing beachesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 28 - Trang 1-11 - 2024
An Zhang, Yinyin Zhou, Ni Zeng, Weizeng Shi, Fei Chen
As the most participatory place for coastal tourism, tourists’ comprehensive evaluation of the bathing beach is significant for its planning and management. This paper considers four bathing beaches in the Qingdao Seaside Scenery Spot as study areas. Through on-site inspections and questionnaire surveys, using statistical analysis software to compare the differences in demographic characteristics,...... hiện toàn bộ
Temperature, salinity and water-age variations in a tidal creek network, Bushehr Port, IranSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 22 - Trang 1093-1106 - 2018
Seyed Taleb Hosseini, Vahid Chegini, Masoud Sadrinasab, Seyed Mostafa Siadatmousavi
The spatio-temporal variability of temperature and salinity was studied for a creek network and its adjacent coastal waters along the northwestern coast of the Persian Gulf during warm and cold months. Salinity variations and tidal fluctuations were found to be out of phase throughout the creek. Temperature variations at the creek were exhibit a direct correlation with tidal fluctuations during co...... hiện toàn bộ
Political ideologies and the objective measurement of climate-related risks to coastal resourcesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 20 - Trang 409-422 - 2016
Jordan W. Smith, Karly Bitsura-Meszaros, Erin Seekamp, Allie McCreary, Kaitlin Burroughs
Nearly all research focused on understanding perceptions of climate-related risks to coastal resources has used data collected via mail surveys, online surveys or in-depth qualitative interviews. To compliment previous research, this study focuses on objective perceptions of climate-related risks to coastal resources as measured by respondents’ gaze behavior when viewing images describing or depic...... hiện toàn bộ
Coastal compartments: the role of sediment supply and morphodynamics in a beach management contextSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 27 - Trang 1-17 - 2023
Rafael C. Carvalho, Colin D. Woodroffe
Coastal compartments provide a hierarchical framework to manage beaches and coastal ecosystems in Australia. This study examines the individual behaviour of three adjacent beaches within Shoalhaven Bight, a secondary compartment on the south coast of New South Wales (NSW). The Shoalhaven River discharges intermittently into the northernmost of the beaches, and a fluvial component is detectable wit...... hiện toàn bộ
Sediment characterisation of the 26 December 2004 Indian ocean tsunami in Andaman group of islands, bay of Bengal, IndiaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 14 - Trang 215-230 - 2010
Kathirkaman Ilayaraja, R. R. Krishnamurthy
The large tsunami, which was generated by an earthquake on 26 December 2004, affected most of the countries around the Indian Ocean. A total of 48 tsunamigenic surface sediments have been collected from various coastal geomorphological features such as beaches, estuaries/creeks and mangrove areas in the Andaman group of islands. These samples were analysed for sediment characteristics such as sedi...... hiện toàn bộ

Major objectives were to provide a comprehensive dataset on beach macro-litter for parts of the southern Baltic Sea and to analyse if the methodology is fully applicable and a suitable monitoring method in the Baltic. We carried out a regular macro litter beach monitoring (OSPAR methodology, 4 time a year) on 35 beaches along the German and Lithuanian Baltic coast over 2–5 years. Additional experi...... hiện toàn bộ
Integration of beach hydrodynamic and morphodynamic modelling in a GIS environmentSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 17 - Trang 201-210 - 2012
Ana Maria Almeida Nobre Silva, Rui Pires Matos Taborda
This work describes a Beach Morphodynamic Model tool (BeachMM) that integrates state of the art wave/morphological numerical models (SWAN and XBeach) within a standard GIS platform (ArcGIS), aiming to streamlining the process related with the beach morphodynamics modelling. The BeachMM tool interface was developed using Python scripting language, taking advantage of its object-oriented and cross p...... hiện toàn bộ
The search for indigenous dune stabilizers: Germination requirements of selected South African speciesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 8 Số 2 - Trang 169-178 - 2002
Knevel, I. C., Venema, H. G., Lubke, R. A.
The coastline of South Africa is characterized by extensive dune fields which are threatened by development, and thus the demand of stabilization of drift sand will increase. The non-invasive alien grass speciesAmmophila arenaria is at present the dominant sand stabilizer. Due to its foreign origin and invasiveness in North America its use was criticized and indigenous sand-binding species would b...... hiện toàn bộ
Towards a Coastal Area Management Act for the Russian FederationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 9 - Trang 19-24 - 2007
Elena E. Andreeva, Yuriy G. Mikhaylichenko, Alexandre N. Vylegjanin
Coastal area management should be considered as an element of a more general philosophy—that of natural resource management—which is in the process of replacing the purely ‘protection of the environment’ approach which was dominated most of the 20th century. Specific legislation on coastal management has been adopted by many countries, and today steps have been taken to acumulate all experience ac...... hiện toàn bộ
