Genetic polymorphism at the loci encoding the enzymes phosphoglucose isomerase, leucine aminopeptidase and phosphoglucomutase was investigated in Irish Mytilus populations. Allele frequencies and heterozygote proportions indicated that populations on exposed Atlantic coasts differed from those on sheltered Atlantic coasts, and from Irish Sea mussels. When compared with data on M. edulis collect...

A triply-nested, movable mesh model ..~as used to study the effects of mountainous terrain on the landfall of tropical cyclones onto the islands of Japan. The integration domain spanned 43" latitude and 47" longitude with finest resolution of 1/6". Numerical experiments were separately performed for three cas4~s. In each experiment a storm was embedded onto a stationary Haurwitz type wave at th...

Fluvial floods in coastal areas are affected by tides and storm surges, while the impact is seldom quantified because dynamics of seawater levels often not represented river routing models. This study established a model framework coupling surge with global hydrodynamic at higher spatiotemporal resolution than previous studies so that flood processes level fluctuation small basins can be invest...
