The extent of storm surge impacts depends on the exposure of a shoreline to a surge event. The submergent and soft coastal relief of the southern Baltic Sea area is under most threat; the rate of retreat depending on the frequency and strength of the storm surges. The rate of coastal ...
Environmental Impacts of the Development of a Deep Water Port at Pondicherry Proposed by Pondicherry Port Ltd., Particularly with regards to Coastal Erosion. 来自 saveourbeach.files.wordpress.com 喜欢 0 阅读量: 11 作者: Page 摘要: Consequently, in less than 20 years, several millions of cubic ...
We present multi-element concentrations in the surface sediments from the offshore of Cauvery delta of southeast India to evaluate the impact of coastal pollution on the geochemical behaviour of surface deposits. For this study, 16 surface sediment samples were collected from the offshore of Cauve...
These perspectives miss a crucial point: the reason pollution, energy use, extinction, and dozens of other human impacts matter is their impact on life. Ecosystems, particularly their living components, have always provided the capital to fuel human economies. When populations were small, humans mak...
Sediment transport model of the southeastern Mediterranean coast The relationship between: (a) the gradual change of the shoreline orientation in the southeastern Mediterranean from east鈥攚est to north鈥攕outh, (b) the longest fetch direction of the Mediterranean (east鈥攚est), and (c) the ...
Large infrastructure projects are only approved subject to impact assessments, which estimate possible negative environmental and social impacts on affected communities and populations (especially resettlement of people to be displaced), and propose strategies for minimizing the adverse impacts. Despite this,...
Dams, stream channelization, and levee/canal construction are common human alterations along Coastal Plain fluvial systems. We use three case studies to illustrate these alterations and their impacts on floodplain geomorphic and ecological processes. They include: 1) dams along the lower Roanoke River,...
Furthermore, groundwater over-pumping impacts, degrading groundwater quality, and increased salinity (i.e., coastal and delta areas) potentially increase contamination. Thus, this study concerned: 1) the geotechnical properties, groundwater levels, and drawdown for the expected SLR and over-pumping ...
In addition, continuing improvements in image classification by supervised and unsupervised computer techniques are being operationally verified for discriminating environmental impacts of human activities on the land. The benefits of employing remote sensing for this discrimination as opposed to more ...
The following environmental impacts of the Aswan High Dam (AHD), almost 40 years after its construction, are assessed: (1) stabilized hydrology; (2) changed hydrobiology; (3) entrapment of sediments in Lake Nasser; (4) retarded sediment load to the Egyptian delta; (5) reservoir-induced seism...
