Sustainable management of highly dynamic coastal topography with fast moving sand dunes, eroding shoreline and anthropogenic changes to bathymetry and beaches represent significant challenges for coastal management. Modern mapping technologies bring capabilities to monitor this dynamic environment with unprecedented spatial and temporal detail. The general research strategy for coastal areas [1...

introduction a considerable percentage of the world’s population is living in the coastal areas. thus, there are many different kinds of problems in these regions. because of the large amount of the people in these areas, their ecosystems are confronted with huge and serious problems. there are different types of arrangements for preventing destruction of ecosystems around the seas. unified man...

In coastal areas, hydrodynamic factors make changes in shorelines geomorphology. This can affect coastal facilities and cause hazards to human societies in the areas. This study has investigated the influence of wave and tide properties on Khamir Port, Hormoz Strait in coast of Persian Gulf. The purpose of the study is to make a mathematical regional and local modeling of water level fluctuatio...

Few things remain static in natural systems and perhaps no better illustrated than by changes in the level of the ocean surface with respect to the land over Quaternary timescales. The position of sea level (ultimate base level) and changes of sea level over geological timescales represent important controls in the evolution of coastal environments, and as an agent of profound geomorphological ...

The importance of emergency response system has grown significantly in recent times due to the frequent manmade and natural disasters such as September 2001 and Hurricane Sandy 2012. Disaster, manmade and natural, causes great economic and human losses each year throughout the world. Transportation and Telecommunication play a crucial role in disaster response and management. Our previous work ...

Coastal wetlands, such as marshes, mangroves and forested swamps, are in decline globally. Although considerable progress has been made in quantifying and valuing some of the key ecosystem goods and services provided by these habitats, fundamental challenges remain. The biggest challenge is inadequate knowledge to link changes in ecosystem structure and function to the production of valuable go...
