The Rupat Strait on the eastern coast of Sumatera Island is currently undergoing a geomorphological process due to current system, which flows from Malacca Strait, and change use hinterland. main purpose this study identify dynamic by analyzing changes width depth strait. We propose remote sensing method using satellite imagery evaluate depth. was also measured echo sounding at 60 stations. stu...

To know the prevalence of heterophyid trematodes among inhabitants of a southern coastal village, i.e., Sacho-ri, Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do (Province), 82 stool samples were examined on helminth eggs and protozoan cysts using Kato-Katz and formalin-ether sedimentation techniques. Total 33 people (40.2%) were positive for trematodes (Heterophyes nocens 15 people, Pygidiopsis summa 3, Metagonimus...

Airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data were acquired over the coastal city of Christchurch, New Zealand, prior to and throughout the 2010 to 2011 Canterbury Earthquake Sequence. Differencing of preand post-earthquake LiDAR data reveals land surface and waterway deformation due to seismic shaking and tectonic displacements above blind faults. Shaking caused floodplain subsidence in ex...

One of the most frequently quoted ecosystem services of seagrass meadows is their value for coastal protection. Many studies emphasize the role of above-ground shoots in attenuating waves, enhancing sedimentation and preventing erosion. This raises the question if short-leaved, low density (grazed) seagrass meadows with most of their biomass in belowground tissues can also stabilize sediments. ...

Understanding how long-term abiotic and biotic processes are linked at a landscape level is of major interest for analyzing future impact on humans and the environment from present-day societal planning. This article uses results derived from multidisciplinary work at a coastal site in Sweden, with the aim of describing future landscape development. First, based on current and historical data, ...

My overarching goal is the development of twoand three-dimensional, moving-boundary, morphodynamic models of continental-margin sedimentation on geologic time scales. The lateQuaternary stratigraphic package on continental margins is a complex juxtaposition of depositional and erosional surfaces that reflects the response of intrinsically coupled, fluvial and shallow-marine sediment dynamics to...

We document nine lower-middle Eocene sequences on the New Jersey coastal plain and compare them with global dO and Haq et al. records. Early Eocene hiatuses do not match dO changes, and it is unlikely that they are the result of glacioeustasy, consistent with an ice-free early Eocene. Early-middle Eocene (49–43 Ma) evidence for a link between sequences and dO is equivocal, and the presence of l...

The spectral mass-specific scattering cross section σ[PIM](λ) is most important for the remote sensing inversion of the concentration of suspended mineral matter in the coastal ocean. This optical parameter is also important in optical theory and therefore the theoretical limits of this parameter are important. There are differing reports in the literature on the magnitude of σ[PIM](λ) and its ...

This paper reviews and evaluates the current state of knowledge on the direct effects of terrestrial runoff on (1) the growth and survival of hard coral colonies, (2) coral reproduction and recruitment, and (3) organisms that interact with coral populations (coralline algae, bioeroders, macroalgae and heterotrophic filter feeders as space competitors, pathogens, and coral predators). The respon...
