In early September 2011, Global Infrastructure Surveys (GIS), in conjunction with Rapid Survey Solutions (RSS), mapped flood-affected areas in central Queensland for risk-assessment purposes. Much of the state of Queensland was hit by devastating floods in late December and January of this year,...
All kinds of data, from flood imagery to financial statements, can now be downloaded freely from data.qld.gov.au— even the Groundwater Database! Better still, you don’t have do download a lot of this data to see it: you can explore it directly in Google Earth via the excellent ...
However, the region that was impacted by the February 2019 flooding and cold temperatures is further north than these typically-affected areas. Furthermore, the most-commonly used blocking index for Australia, that describes the split of the westerly jet into a subtropical and polar component, is...
The loss and recovery of intertidal seagrass meadows were assessed following the flood related catastrophic loss of seagrass meadows in February 1999 in the Sandy Strait, Queensland. Region wide recovery rates of intertidal meadows following the catastrophic disturbance were assessed by mapping seagrass ab...
For example, if an EA condition authorises a void in a flood plain, the EA holder is not required to comply with the new requirement to rehabilitate the void to a 'stable condition' and is not required to justify why the land cannot be rehabilitated in a PRCP. ...
This paper examines flood frequencies in three coastal sectors of Britain and analyses the associated storm tracks and their principal pathways. The result... Y Zong,M Tooley - 《Natural Hazards》 被引量: 59发表: 2003年 Liquefaction impacts in residential areas in the 2010-2011 Christchurch eart...
Elevated nutrients in flood plumes as a result of heavy rainfall in GBR catchments can lead to temporary eutrophic conditions, associated with noticeable surface phytoplankton blooms (McKinnon et al.2013). The development of ocean-based macroalgal cultivation in the GBR lagoon may represent a commerc...
While our study and Bainbridge et al.'s [2012] Burdekin flood plume research show a clear partitioning of sediment fractions through the BFD and into the marine environment, there is still a need to delineate the marine areas of most risk to the increased sediment loads delivered from the ...
“People in flood affected areas cannot be complacent and the capture of this animal is a timely reminder that crocodiles can turn up in unusual places, including places they have never been seen before,” the state environment department said in a statement. Major f...
Assessing the rapid deterioration of the structural and surface condition of the flood affected pavements is a prerequisite for the accurate prediction of pavement performance, a better decision making process and the management of these roads. Although this paper did not include any model for ...
