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...

Disposal of sandy pipeline dredge spoils by end dumping

Creator:: Pyles, Marvin Russell
Abstract:: Channel maintenance operations in the rivers and harbors of the United States annually require the disposal of over 320 million cubic meters of dredge spoils. As the availability of suitable land sites diminishes, open water disposal presents an attractive yet controversial alternative method. For open water disposal to be acceptable,...

Driving Past the Jargon: Designing Multimedia Devices to Clarify Transportation Engineering Concepts

Creator:: Rogge, Angela Anne
Abstract:: The educational environment is filled with different types of students, all with diverse learning styles. The Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator and Kolb’s Theory of Experiential Learning are generally accepted methods for determining and assessing a person’s preferred method of information processing. There has been research that suggests learning styles are specific...

Collection and analysis of evaporative flux data for various climates

Creator:: Katul, Gabriel
Abstract:: Daily evaporative flux and meteorological data from three sites were collected and analyzed. Analysis included evaluation of several reference evapotranspiration estimating methods which were theoretically based on distinct physical laws. The estimating methods included pan evaporation, energy-based Priestly-Taylor, and combination methods with and without biological adjustments. The data set represented...

Modeling Unobserved Heterogeneity and the Injury Severities of Truck Drivers in Run-Off-Road (ROR) Crashes: Econometric Methods and Applications

Creator:: Al-Bdairi, Nabeel Saleem Saad
Abstract:: Recent statistics regarding large truck crashes reveal that fatality rates of large trucks per 100 million vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and fatality rates per 1,000 registered vehicles are higher than those for passenger vehicles. These statistics underscore the need for greater efforts by safety professionals to help mitigate the impacts...

Applying climate change information to hydraulic and hydrologic transportation infrastructure

Creator:: Al Naabi, Rawan Y.
Abstract:: Scour is the main cause of bridge failures in the United States. Bridge failures raise a hazard to the safety of the traveling public as well as the massive economic consequences due to the high cost of constructing a new or a replacement bridge. The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT)...

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...

Are watershed management plans selected and preferred by stakeholders considering current climate conditions robust against climate change scenarios? A sensitivity study of stakeholders spatially-explicit preferences

Creator:: Cannady-Shultz, Kenneth R.
Abstract:: In the light of the changing climate, the importance of designing effective watershed management plans that are likely to be implemented is becoming ever more important. This research introduces a new concept, consensus, for incorporation into stakeholder-guided interactive optimization of watershed management plans. User preferences were mathematically simulated based upon...

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...

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...
