Rapid land loss in the Mississippi River Delta Plain has led to intensive efforts by state and federal agencies for finding solutions in coastal land restoration in the past decade. One of the proposed solutions includes diversion of the Mississippi River water into drowning wetland areas. Although a few recent studies have investigated flow-sediment relationships in the Lowermost Mississippi R...

Rivers around the world have been heavily engineered, and these man-made changes are affecting important biogeochemical cycles. play a key role in global carbon cycle, by mobilizing organic from land delivering it to oceans. River engineering techniques, like levees that prevent flooding, change way is cycled through rivers, but difficult identify quantify changes. Shen et al. (2021) were able ...

This paper describes the research project on the development of an ontology-based semantic search system for drought management of the Chi River Basin (CRB), Thailand. The research methods included Ontology Development 101 by adopting Noy & McGuinness (2001) and Ontology-based Application Management framework by adopting Buranarach et al. (2012). Seventeen experts including ten experts in the a...

Numerical modelling is now used routinely to make predictions about the behaviour of environmental systems. Model calibration remains a critical step in the modelling process and different approaches have been taken to develop guidelines to support engineers and scientists in this task. This article reviews currently available guidelines for a river hydraulics modeller by dividing them into thr...

River engineering is one of the most important subjects in hydraulic [...]

In Australia, Ross River virus (RRV) is predominantly identified and managed through passive health surveillance. Here, the proactive use of environmental datasets to improve community-scale public health interventions in southeastern Tasmania is explored. Known environmental drivers (temperature, rainfall, tide) of the RRV vector Aedes camptorhynchus are analysed against cumulative case record...
