Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHigh Resolution Satellite Images to Reconstruct Recent Evolution of Domitian CoastlinePasquale Maglione, Claudio Parente, Andrea VallarioIn the last decades, combinations of natural and humanfactors have resulted in extensive morphological changes to our coastlines andin many cases have amplified erosion. In order to limit these changes and theirimpact on coastal zone, it is important toplan specific actions; for this purpose detailed cognizance of coastal zone isnecessary. Different and heterogeneous data such as historical and recent maps,remotely … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 7 · 28 Aug 2015 · 7,015 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractROLE OF SALINITY IN PRECIPITATION AND WELL WATER DEPTH RELATIONSHIPManoj K. JhaExcessive groundwater pumping can decrease the amount of fresh water flowing towards the coastal discharge areas, allowing salt water to be drawn into the fresh water zones of coastal aquifers. This process gets complicated with the frequent change behavior of groundwater levels in observation wells. The fluctuation happens due to various reasons but can be directly correlated with the precipitation … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Mar 2014 · 7,957 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDownstream Ecocide from Upstream Water PiracyMiah Muhammad AdelUpstream India and downstream Bangladesh share more than 50 international rivers. India has set up water diversion constructions in more than 50% of these rivers, the largest one being on the Bangladesh’s northwest upon the Ganges River, puts Bangladesh’s Gangetic ecosystem at stake. In some border rivers, India has set up groins on her side of river banks. Also, Indian … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 4 Sep 2012 · 9,077 accessesView PDFCite
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 abstractDetermining the Effect of Sediment Resuspension from the Activity of Phenoloxidase in Penaeid Shrimp Post LarvaeNapaporn Leadprathom, Pornpimon Teangtarn, Kedsiri Ing-kanorn et al.Problem statement: Regular sediment resuspension or dredging in coastal zones can induce stress in a postlaval penaeid shrimp, which affects immune response. Phenoloxidase is a significant enzyme in the penaeid shrimp’s immune system which, when used as a biomarker, can serve as an early warning sign in ecological systems. The stress response of shrimp postlarvae from sediment reuspension was analyzed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 12 Jun 2012 · 7,091 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 abstractGlobal Warming at the East Coast Zone of Peninsular MalaysiaHayrol Azril Mohamed Shaffril, Bahaman Abu Samah, Jeffrey Lawrence D'Silva, Jegak UliProblem statement: Global Warming is not a new phenomenon and it is already been felt by people all around the world. Not only the people affected by the global warming, but also our sea. There are a lot of potential threats that can be caused by global warming on the sea such as rise of sea level, changes in waves … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 4 Aug 2011 · 8,708 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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Crude Oil and Spent Oil on Clarias garipinus: A Typical Marine FishA. M. Gbadebo, A. M. Taiwo, O. B. OlaProblem statement: Petroleum hydrocarbon and petroleum residue (i.e., spent oil) remains the foremost pollutants to the fish communities in various aquatic media-ponds, streams, rivers, creeks, coastal and marine environments through indiscriminate disposal of oil contaminated drilling muds, cutting and oil spillages. Approach: Also, the spent oil enters into aquatic media through run-off following unguided disposal. Both the petroleum hydrocarbon and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,470 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModelling the Effect of Salinity on the Multivariate Distribution of a Water Quality IndexDaniela cocchi, Michele scagliariniSalinity is a tracer of water and nutrient flows and is employed in studies on coastal environment to establish the coastal or remote origins of pollutants and nutrients. The present article analyses the effects of salinity on the multivariate distribution of the Trophic Index TRIX. The approach taken is based on a multivariate nested model with salinity as an explicative … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 5,917 accessesView PDFCite
