  • Remote measurements of waves and currents over complex bathymetry

    Creator:
    Chickadel, Carmine C. (Carmine Christopher)
    Abstract:
    Waves are the primary input of energy in the nearshore region, and together with the currents forced through the transfer of momentum that occurs during the wave breaking process they are the principal mechanism for sediment transport in the nearshore. The basic physics of waves and currents are thought to...

  • Remote sensing of radiation stress gradients from optical imagery

    Creator:
    Killian, Jason R.
    Abstract:
    Wave-induced circulation is the defining characteristic of the nearshore. Within this region, the constant feedback cycle between incoming waves, wave-generated currents, and the mobile sediment bed is responsible for the evolution of complex patterns in nearshore and beach morphology. Central to our understanding of this system is knowledge of the...

  • Heparin-regulated release of growth factors in vitro and angiogenic response in vivo to implanted hyaluronan hydrogels containing VEGF and bFGF

    Creator:
    Pike, Daniel B.
    Abstract:
    Biocompatible hydrogels composed of covalently crosslinked, chemically modified hyaluronan (HA), gelatin (Gtn), and heparin (Hp) were synthesized for controlled release of human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). We hypothesized that inclusion of small quantities of heparin in these gels would result in regulated growth...

  • Submarine plateau volcanism and Cretaceous Ocean Anoxic Event 1a : geochemical evidence from Aptian sedimentary sections

    Creator:
    Walczak, Paul S.
    Abstract:
    Marine sediments exceptionally rich in organic carbon, known as black shales, occur globally but intermittently in well correlated Cretaceous successions. The presence of black shales indicates that sporadic, ocean-wide interruption of normal respiration of marine organic matter during oxygen-deficient conditions has occurred. Submarine volcanism on a massive scale, related to...

  • Predicting the longshore-variable coastal response to hurricanes

    Creator:
    Stockdon, Hilary F.
    Abstract:
    The longshore variability of the coastal response to hurricanes may be examined within the framework of a storm-impact scaling model that compares spatially-variable beach morphology and fluid forcing. The relative elevations of dune height and storm-induced water levels are used to define three impact regimes (swash, collision, and overwash), within...
