Reservoir Model of Ebb - Tidal Shoal Evolution and Sand Bypassing
A mathematical model is presented for calculating the change in volume and sand-bypassing rate at ebb-tidal shoals. Conceptually and mathematically, the ebb-tidal shoal is distinguished from bypassing bars that emerge from it and from attachment bars where the bypassing bars merge with the beach. The volumes and bypassing rates of these morphologic entities are calculated by analogy to a reserv...
متن کاملCamp Ellis , Maine : A Small Beach Community with a Big Problem / Jetty
This paper is a case history of coastal development in Camp Ellis, Saco, Maine. It begins in 1867 with dredging and jetty construction at the mouth of the Saco River to facilitate commercial navigation. Beach accretion resulting from tidal delta collapse was developed with residences before its ephemeral nature was recognized. Misunderstanding of the riverine source of beach sand and the net, n...

متن کاملAssessing landscape change of Minab delta morphs before and after dam construction
As special depositional environments which are adjacent to the seas, deltas have provided a field for human habitat establishment. Geomorphic features of deltas are in constant transformation due to their dynamic features. Constructing dams on rivers can intensify these changes and cause either negative or positive consequences. Minab delta in Hormozgan Province of Iran is a round or crescent-s...
متن کاملA multi-beach study of Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, and enterococci in seawater and beach sand.
Incidences of Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) have risen worldwide prompting a need to better understand routes of human exposure and whether standard bacterial water quality monitoring practices adequately account for this potential threat. Beach water and sand samples were analyzed during summer months for S. aureus, enterococci, and MRSA at three southern Cal...
