Shore platforms on the Kaikoura Peninsula have been examined to determine the roles of marine and sub aerial weathering processes in platform evolution. Erosion was measured to assess rates of development and processes of erosion. Lowering rates on platforms are presented from two years of monitoring using a traversing micro-erosion meter. Cliff retreats were calculated using aerial photographic interpretation. Marine processes were investigated by using deep water wave data, by measuring waves ...

Near shore hydrodynamics has been an important research area dealing with coastal processes. The nearshore coastal region is the region between the shoreline and a fictive offshore limit which usually is defined as the limit where the depth becomes so large that it no longer influences the waves. This spatially limited but highly energetic zone is where water waves shoal, break and transmit energy to the shoreline and are governed by highly dispersive and non-linear effects. An accurate understa...

This thesis examines the ways in which women assess and seek resources in their urban contexts. I argue that the struggles of daily life in local communities and institutional groups can produce ideological spaces into which new practices, arising from increased consciousness of issues, can be developed. My aim has been to uncover women's experiences in a way that not only interprets meanings from their practices, but also encourages such practices to be seen as valid renderings of women's un...

Numerical experiments are used to study the wind- and buoyancy-modulated along-shore circulation over the Texas-Louisiana continental shelf inshore of 50-m water depth. Most attention is given to circulation in the non-summer flow regime. A major focus of this study is on a unique along-shore flow phenomenon – convergent along- shore flows, which is controlled jointly by wind forcing and buoyancy fluxes from the Mississippi-Atchafalaya river plume. The second problem addresses the forcing effect...

Cross-shore (onshore-offshore) sediment transport has been studied to determine the importance of sediment permeability on the equilibrium beach slope. Quick (1991) has proposed that the permeability of the beach material effects the onshore-offshore transport by changing the stresses on the beach through the infiltration and exfiltration processes. Based on Hazen's (1911) idea that the sediment's D₁₀ value (that is, 10% of the material is finer than this value) may be used to represent its...

The main objective of this study was to investigate and quantify the impact of extreme hydrodynamic forces, similar to those generated by tsunami-induced inundation, on structural elements. As part of a comprehensive experimental program and analytical study, pressures, base shear forces, and base overturning moments generated by hydraulic bores on structural models of various shapes were studied. In addition, the impact force induced by waterborne wooden debris of different shapes and masses on...

Measurement of urine production by the crab, Hemigrapsus nudus, gives an indication of the excretion, in absolute amounts, of substances whose concentrations in the urine are presently known. In this way, it is possible to judge the degree of participation of the antennary glands in the functions of ionic and osmotic regulation. Urine production was measured, firstly, by blockage of nephropores to prevent urination and detection of resulting weight increases. The adhesive, methyl 2-cyano-acryla...

This thesis provides new insight concerning drivers behind differences in arthropod diversity and abundance in Baltic shore ecosystems and how the arthropod communities might be affected when the conditions in the Baltic Sea are altered due to climate change.  The focus has been on climate related changes that are unique for coastal ecosystems, especially sea level rise and changes in the inflow of marine nutrients. As sea levels rise, features in coastal landscapes will be altered, islands and ...

The wave energy conversion concept developed at Uppsala University is based on a buoy at sea level that is connected to a linear generator on the sea bed. The movements of the buoy riding the waves gets converted into electricity by the reciprocal movements of the translator inside the generator. To be able to compensate the negative impact of water level variations on power production, which is especially important at sites with high tidal range, a sea level compensation system to be placed on ...

The collection of bait organisms goes hand-in-hand with shore-angling in South Africa, hence the level of bait-collection can be used as an indicator of fishing effort and vice versa. This emphasises the importance of understanding the fisheries for bait organisms. In 1998 the South African fisheries policy was revised, culminating in the Marine Living Resources Act No. 18 (1998) which supported sustainable development, equitable access to resources and stability of the industry. The policy also...

With the number of wind power units (WPUs) on the rise worldwide, it is inevitable that some of these would be exposed to natural disasters like tsunamis and it will become a necessity to consider their effects in the design process of WPUs. This study initially attempts to quantify the forces acting on an existing WPU due to a tsunami bore impact. Surge and bore heights of 2m, 5m and 10m are used to compute the forces using the commercially available full 3D Navier Stokes equation solver FLOW3D...

In recent years, an understanding has emerged that the federal government needs to run more efficiently and improve accountability. As companies are accountable to shareholders, the federal government is accountable to taxpayers. Under the Government Performance and Results act of 1993 (GPRA) every major federal agency must be able to set goals, measure performance, and report on their accomplishments. The DoD and the Navy have been working to develop base management and quality standards, to im...

This project takes an experiential design approach to urban planning. By focusing on the public spaces of an urban area, it develops a design process based on the experiences felt by those walking down the street: both visitors and residents. Each type of user has a different experience, and a variety of building-street interface typologies have therefore been developed. This project uses the same calculations and basic framework from Dean Almy’s Texas Futures Lab studio of Spring 2013. It then ...

Like Mackinder, “I propose to define geography as the science whose main function is to trace the interaction of man in society and so much of his environment as varies locally.” (13:143) To write a 'human geography' of any area as it exists to-day, is inevitably to attempt an appraisal of its potentialities for human development. This is no less true of studies descriptive of times past. And the student who presents a series of such pictures is, perforce, brought face to face with the fact that...

Bailard's sediment transport model (1981) is evaluated using field data obtained on a naturally barred beach. Principal field measurements consist of a cross-shore array of bi-directional current meters spanning the surf zone and daily bathymetic surveys. The model predicts bed and suspended Load transport separately based on various velocity moments. The velocities are partitioned into mean currents, long waves (< 0.05 Hz) and short waves (.0.05 Hz) to determine their relative importance to the...

Theory is reviewed which relates infiltration into a permeable beach with the net onshore or offshore transport of sediment by wave action. This theory is tested experimentally by using sands of different permeability and by using underdrains in the beach and a pump to increase the infiltration capacity. Previous studies are reviewed, although these earlier studies have had different purposes. Some prior investigations have studied wave propagation over a permeable slope or have determined ...

The nearshore zone is plenty of 3D morphodynamic patterns resulting from the interaction of waves, currents and sediments. The dynamics of formation and evolution of these patterns is at present a controversial point in coastal research. However, frequently nearshore zone shows a strongly persistent uniformity. In this situation, morphodynamic changes are dominated just by crossshore processes. Remarkably, although this situation displays much less morphological complexity, cross-shore beach pro...

The end of the cold war has allowed the United States to significantly reduce defense spending. Spending has been reduced for both the force structure (i.e., equipment and manpower) and the military support base (i. e., infrastructure), but infrastructure reductions continue to lag force structure reductions. The United States Navy's recent initiatives to reduce its shore infrastructure costs include "regionalization", "outsourcing," and "homebasing." While regionalization and outsourcing decrea...

The following pages are thoughts and ideas that go through my head when creating art that is intended to be seen, analyzed and somewhat understood by an audience. Though there are some aspects contained within that may touch directly on how I make sculpture on a practical and aesthetic level, my hope is that this document will function more as a work that will provide the reader with a sense of hope as it relates to art making, that while what we do as makers can often seem pointless, we must ha...

An original work of fiction--in the form of a social novel--which examines themes of gender, race, religion, and nationality in contemporary American life. The dramatic action springs mainly from the perceptions and experiences of the protagonist, an actress of mixed blood, whose spiritual quest for identity is linked to the major themes. Her evolution is central to the exposition. The protagonist's interactions with other characters, and her inner thoughts, mark the transition between past and ...
