Examining Wave Attenuation Rates and Subsurface Pore Pressures Across Three Marsh Restoration Sill Structures on a Sandy Bed

Creator:

Converse, Jordan D.

Abstract:

With rising sea levels and more frequent exposure to extreme storms, coastlines worldwide are vulnerable to increased erosion and loss of natural marsh lands. In an effort to lessen these impacts, there is a growing practice of adapting hard or “gray” coastline protection techniques to more nature-based features that promote...

Engineering Services of Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV): Investigation of the Land-Building and Energy-Attenuating Properties of SAV Habitats Across Spatial Scales

Creator:

Holzenthal, Elizabeth R.

Abstract:

Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) species, such as seagrasses, are highly valued in estuaries because of the many economic, ecological, and cultural services that they provide, including shelter for fisheries, minimizing water turbidity, and improving am-bient water quality. SAV can also alter its physical environment by attenuating wave and current velocities,...
