Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of 137Cs Activity to Investigate Sediment Movement and Transport Modeling in River Coastal EnvironmentM. E. Toriman, Muhamad Barzani Gasim, Zulkifli Yusop et al.Conflicts between human and environment always triggered to sedimentation and erosion problems within the coastal areas, Therefore understanding sediment transport processes in a river estuary and coastal waters was important when studying sediment transport and mobility within the river coastal environment. This article aims to investigate the sediment transport and mobility of the Kemaman River estuary, Terengganu Malaysia. In this … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 22 Jun 2012 · 7,767 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMetals in Sediment Cores from Nine Coastal Lagoons in Central VietnamStefania Romano, Cristian Mugnai, Silvia Giuliani et al.Problem statement: After being dramatically hit by war events, Vietnam is presently experiencing a huge economical and social development. However, very few data, relative to pollution levels and trends, are available for the correct management of critical areas such as coastal lagoons, where many economical activities are linked to high value environmental features. Approach: A set of sediment cores from … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 9 Mar 2012 · 8,592 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Bathymetry Database for Coastal AreasWorachat Wannawong, Prungchan Wongwises, Usa W. HumphriesProblem statement: A database containing gridded bathymetries with different coverages and resolutions has been established. Approach: The interpolation techniques of the gridded bathymetries have been developed to define the spherical, rectangular and curvilinear coordinate grid systems. Results: Subsequently, merging of the bathymetry results has also been developed to define the optimal bathymetry. Furthermore, the bathymetries were established in order to … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,227 accessesView PDFCite

Al-DousariProblem statements: The salinity of seawater is a critical issue for desalination process. Approach: The salinity changes in the coastal waters of Kuwait due to large scale power and desalination activity were evaluated. Results: Systematic sampling campaigns were planned to cover the uptake and outfall of the desalination plant spreading evenly the sampling points to cover the freshwater input zone … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,110 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiological Activity of Methyl tert-butyl Ether in Relation to Soil Microorganisms has a Negative Environmental ImpactGholam H.S. BonjarFuel oxygenates are added to gasoline to enhance combustion efficiency of automobiles and reduce air pollution. Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is the most commonly used oxygenate because of its low cost, high-octane level and ease of blending with gasoline. However, due to its water solubility, high mobility and low biodegradability it leaches in soil subsurface at the speed of groundwater. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,665 accessesView PDFCite
