Remote Sensing Tools for Evaluating Climate Change Impacts in Coastal Environments

Creator:: Herrmann, Joan F.
Abstract:: Climate change has pervasive impacts on Earth’s diverse ecosystems. Observed and projected effects that impact coastal environments pose unique challenges. Coastal regions provide numerous ecosystem services (e.g., fisheries, nursery habitats, erosion control, and water filtering and detoxification), house 40% of the US population, and contribute to 58% of the national...

Experimental evaluation and chemical modeling of hexavalent chromium adsorption, desorption, and reduction in a natural soil

Creator:: Azizian, Mohammed F.
Abstract:: Chromium and its compounds are widely used by modern industries, resulting in large quantities of this element being discharged into the environment. To remove chromium from contaminated soils and ground water, it is necessary to predict chemical and physical processes that control the rate of reactions and transport of chromium...

Climate Change Impacts to Estuarine Hydrodynamics: Tools, Methodologies, and Predictions

Creator:: Parker, Kai A.
Abstract:: Coastal communities in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) are rapidly engaging with the idea that hazards and environmental pressures are changing and may be characteristically different in the near future. This has led to a need for scientific knowledge and tools that can help coastal communities prepare and build resilience...

Numerical modeling of full-coupled fluid-structure interaction

Creator:: Yuk, Dongjun
Abstract:: A numerical model for the simulation of fully-coupled fluid-structure interaction is developed in this study. In modeling the fluid, the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved for an incompressible viscous fluid field and a k-ε model is employed for turbulence computations. Hydrodynamic forces obtained by the integration of the fluid...

Safety and efficiency benefits of traffic signal countdown timers : a driving simulator study

Creator:: Islam, Mohammad Rabiul
Abstract:: Traffic signal countdown timers (TSCT) are innovative, practical and cost effective technologies with the potential to improve efficiency and safety at signalized intersections. The purpose of these devices is to assist motorists in decision making at signalized intersections with real time signal change information. While successful implementation of these devices...

Tidal range changes in the Delaware Bay : past conditions and future scenarios

Creator:: Hall, George F.
Abstract:: Throughout the Holocene, appreciable changes in bathymetry are hypothesized to have resulted in large changes to tidal datums in coastal and estuarine areas. An understanding of tidal change is an important contribution to the knowledge of relative historical sea-level change and future coastal planning. To test this hypothesis, the Advanced...

Coupled wave and surge modeling of Tillamook Bay, Oregon : extreme events and climate change impacts

Creator:: Cheng, Tiffany Kay
Abstract:: Estuaries represent the confluence of land and ocean environments and encompass a number of complex interactions amongst tides, winds, offshore waves and the riverine contributions, all of which contribute to total water levels (TWLs). The study of TWLs and the relative weight of its components can assist local communities in...

An evaluation of the cubic autotape under dynamic conditions

Creator:: Plasker, James Robert
Abstract:: Accuracy requirements for positioning a vessel in the near shore area have increased in recent years. To meet these requirements several electronic positioning systems have been developed. One such system is the Cubic Autotape Model DM-40. The Autotape is a circular positioning system which utilizes the phase comparison between transmitted...

Tsunami propagation in large rivers : idealized cases and the Columbia River Estuary

Creator:: Kalmbacher, Kirk D.
Abstract:: The hazards associated with tsunamis are well known and have been studied for decades. The majority of research is, however, focused on open coastlines which bear the brunt of a tsunamis force. Other regions that can be strongly impacted by a tsunami are large estuaries. Here, the tsunami encounters a...
