Crowdsourcing Data-driven Development of Bicycle Safety Performance Functions (SPFs) : Microscopic and Macroscopic Scales

Creator:: Chen, Chen
Abstract:: While riding bicycles has been promoted for its health, economic, and environmental benefits, it also complements other modes to complete a safe, efficient, and reliable transportation system. However, the dramatic increase of bicycle usage in the U.S. is accompanied by a growth of bicycle crashes. The U.S. Department of Transportation,...

Preparation and laboratory evaluation of stationary-phase iron-oxide-based adsorbents for removal of metals from waste waters

Creator:: May, Michael Lee
Abstract:: Several potential sorbent materials containing iron oxides were prepared and evaluated for potential to remove divalent metals from waste waters. These included a ferrihydrite-coated sand, maghemite incorporated in Dowex[Trademark] ion exchange resin, gothite and two thermally activated ferrihydrites. Attempts to prepare sorbents from steel shot by coating with ferrihydrite or...

The Art of Reducing Coastal Hazard Complexity: Coupling Physics and Probability to Understand Extremes, Variability, and Climate-dependence

Creator:: Anderson, Dylan L.
Abstract:: Coastal hazards are the result of numerous physical processes cumulatively causing water levels to flood and erode the land. The waves, storm surges, tides, and run-off contributing to elevated water levels are each the product of chaotic and random weather patterns. These stochastic weather patterns dissipate energy in Earth's climate...

Evaluating climate change induced coastal flood impacts to San Diego Bay Naval Infrastructure - a hybrid statistical dynamical modeling approach

Creator:: Anderson, Tyler P.
Abstract:: This study utilizes probabilistic surrogate modeling techniques around San Diego Bay with an emphasis on naval infrastructure and operations to evaluate the impact of five global mean sea level rise scenarios (GMSLR). Spatially continuous total water levels (TWLs) are combined with a digital elevation model (DEM) of the region to...

Morphodynamic Evolution of Coastal Oregon: Using New Lidar-derived Beach and Sand Dune Morphometrics to Explore Multi-decadal Change

Creator:: Light, Jacob W
Abstract:: The coast of Oregon is highly dynamic, with beach and dune morphodynamics constantly evolving in response to physical and ecological forcing at scales ranging from seconds to decades and meters to tens of kilometers. Evaluating spatial and temporal trends in shoreline evolution is paramount in understanding and eventually developing a...

Quantifying the Relative Role of the Key Drivers of Coastal Dune Evolution: Observations and Simulations Across a Range of Time and Space Scales in Cape Lookout National Seashore, North Carolina

Creator:: Hovenga, Paige A.
Abstract:: Coastal dunes provide a diverse set of ecosystem services including coastal protection against destructive surge and waves during storm events. Dunes are constantly evolving through various stages of response to storm events and post-storm recovery at rates that vary due to a range of drivers including pre-existing morphology, environmental forcing...

Numerical Studies on Fluid-Structure Interaction and Applications

Creator:: Chen, Ming
Abstract:: Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) has been of significant research interest worldwide over the past several decades because of its variety of applications in both offshore and coastal engineering. Researchers analyzing FSI systems rely heavily on experimental tests in model scale in laboratories or large-scale sea trials. However, these tests are often...

Experimental study of counter-propagating solitary wave collisions

Creator:: Chen, Yongshuai
Abstract:: To better understand the extreme local amplification of tsunami, the experimental investigation on counter-propagating solitary wave collisions over a horizontal bottom was conducted using the optical measurement techniques: Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), and Laser Induced Fluoresce (LIF). Head-on collisions and oblique collisions of equal-amplitude as well as unequal-amplitude waves were...

Tidal influence on downstream fining in gravel-bed rivers

Creator:: Coles, Derron Rafiq
Abstract:: This research examines the downstream fining phenomenon as it operates in coastal gravel-bed rivers of Oregon. Downstream fining is a change in bed composition toward smaller sediment sizes in the downstream direction. Changes in stream flow discharge and channel slope affect the rate of bed-load transport, thereby altering the downstream...

The effects of land use on stream nitrate concentrations : from the catchment scale to the regional scale

Creator:: Poor, Cara J.
Abstract:: This work furthers the understanding of processes occurring in catchments that affect stream nitrate concentrations using two different approaches: a temporally intensive case study of three headwater catchments with varying land use (through storm event monitoring) and a spatially intensive study on the regional scale (through statistical modeling) of 1st-4th...
