  • The Application of Machine Learning Techniques on Marine Science Models

    Creator:
    Ellenson, Ashley
    Abstract:
    A variety of stakeholders require information about marine systems. In the open ocean, pilots of marine vessels require knowledge about environmental conditions for safe passage and route planning. On the coastline, communities rely on information about nearshore dynamics to increase safety from coastal hazards such as nearshore pollutants, coastal erosion,...

  • Boulder Transport by High Energy Surge

    Creator:
    Harry, Samuel T.
    Abstract:
    Boulder transport models have been used to develop a historical record of hydrodynamic events. This is done by evaluating the size, location, and composition of boulders that have been removed from their region of formation. Boulder transport is difficult to predict, even under laboratory conditions. Experiments were conducted to evaluate...

  • Improving the Performance of High Early Strength Concrete by Controlling Self-Desiccation and Mitigating Shrinkage

    Creator:
    Wilson, Cameron A.
    Abstract:
    High early strength (HES) concrete is becoming increasingly used to repair damaged concrete pavement sections. The use of HES concrete enables the repaired pavement to be opened to traffic within hours of placing the concrete. A common approach used for the rapid repair of concrete pavement consists of closing a...

  • Behavior of a 1/6th scale, two-story, wood framed residential structure under surge wave loading

    Creator:
    Wilson, Jebediah
    Abstract:
    The goal of this study was to develop an understanding of the nature of surge wave loading on wood framed residential structures for a variety of building configurations and test conditions. The objectives of the study were: (1) to measure forces on a 1/6th scale wood framed residential structure, (2)...

  • Radiometric Calibration of EAARL‐B Bathymetric Lidar Data

    Creator:
    Wilson, Nicholas C.
    Abstract:
    The Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar ‐ B (EAARL‐B), which was built and deployed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 2014, is a novel topographic‐bathymetric lidar system. While retaining a number of features that were pioneered in the original National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) EAARL system (e.g., low...

  • Centrifuge Modeling of Soil Response to Tsunami-like Rapid Flooding and the Subsequent Drawdown

    Creator:
    Exton, Margaret C.
    Abstract:
    Soil instability from tsunami hazards causes substantial damage to coastal infrastructure (e.g., the damage caused by the 2011 Great East Japan Tsunami, or the Heisei Tsunami). Tsunamis are unpredictable, so it is difficult to obtain field-scale measurements. Simulating tsunamis in a laboratory setting is therefore important to further understanding of...

  • A linkage finite element for nailed composite wood I-Beams and T-Beams

    Creator:
    Lee, Chyuan-shen
    Abstract:
    With current nonlinear analysis computer capabilities, this study was conducted to develop a linkage element that permits analyses of wood composite structures taking into account possible slip in the nailed joints. The finite elements chosen to represent the wood stud, plywood, gypsum and nails are described. The method as applied...

  • Remote Sensing of Nearshore Hydrodynamic and Morphodynamic Processes

    Creator:
    O'Dea, Annika M.
    Abstract:
    The use of remote sensing techniques in coastal science and engineering has rapidly increased in the past few decades. This dissertation outlines new remote sensing tools using two remote sensing technologies (lidar and X-band marine radar) along with two nearshore hydrodynamic and morphodynamic analyses supported or motivated by these remote...

  • Long Wave Amplification in a Coral-Reef Lagoon

    Creator:
    Bheeroo, Vivek Anand
    Abstract:
    A series of laboratory experiments were conducted to study the wave field in the inner lagoon excited by ‘long’ incident waves. Three cases were considered: Cases A, B and C presenting incident waves of wavelength with factors of 1, 2 and 2.5 times the width of the reef respectively. The...

  • Efficient Topobathymetric Mapping and 3D Spatial Analysis of Estuaries Using Multi-Platform, Multi-Temporal Data

    Creator:
    Lambert, Selina E.
    Abstract:
    Frequent 3D spatial mapping of estuaries is critical to understanding and modeling changes that can impact ecological health (e.g., water quality) and ecosystem services (e.g., aquaculture, nutrient cycling, and shoreline stabilization). However, obtaining accurate, repeat topobathymetric data for estuaries is a major challenge. Because shallow estuaries are typically not used...
