Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpacts of Typhoon on Wave Height at Bangkhuntien ShorelinePrasertsak Ekphisutsuntorn, Prungchan Wongwises, Jiang Zhu, Suphat VongvisessomjaiProblem statement: In this study, the changing of wave height at Bangkhuntien during a passage of typhoon LINDA was simulated by using the Simulating WAves Nearshore Model (SWAN) version 40.41. The study domain covered from 99-101°E longitude and 12-14°N in latitude with resolution of 2.4×2.4 km. The simulation covered 10 days during typhoon LINDA entering into the Upper Gulf of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,465 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Application of Simulating WAves Nearshore Model for Wave Height Simulation at Bangkhuntien ShorelinePrasertsak Ekphisutsuntorn, Prungchan Wongwises, Chaiyuth Chinnarasri et al.Problem statement: In this study, the significant wave height at the Upper Gulf of Thailand and the change of wave height at Bangkhuntien shoreline were simulated by using the Simulating WAves Nearshore Model (SWAN) version 40.51. Approach: The simulated significant wave height by the SWAN model at Petchburi buoy station and Ko Srichang buoy station were compared with the observed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPredict Location(s) of Apis dorsata Nesting Sites Using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System in Melaleuca ForestiM. M. Saberioon, M. Mardan, L. Nordin et al.Problem statement: The Asiatic Giant honeybees (Apis dorsata) are seasonally abounded throughout the upland and lowland rainforests in South East Asia. The colonies of A. dorsata are found to nest in aggregates on tall bee trees (tree emergent) in the open, as well as, nesting singly in concealed locations when nesting low, especially in the submerged forest of Melaleuca cajuputi … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 8,603 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 · 7,467 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing Community Health Risks: Proactive Vs Reactive SamplingSarah Taylor, Chelsea Papadopoulos, Sarah Vieillet, Peter Di MarcoProblem statement: A considerable number of native birds died in the West Australian coastal town of Esperance and surroundings during late 2006 and early 2007, which raised community concerns about environmental contamination. Forensic investigations of dead birds suggested that lead may have been the causative agent. At the time, lead and nickel, as well as iron ore and other materials, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,840 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesalination leading to Salinity Variations in Kuwait Marine WatersAhmad E. 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 · 7,106 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysical and Biological Responses of Forests to Tropical Cyclones Affecting the United States Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico CoastsKrista Merry, Pete Bettinger, Jeffrey HepinstallProblem Statement: Natural resources within the southern United States have repeatedly been subjected to the impact of tropical cyclones. While the frequency of tropical cyclones hitting either coast varies from year to year, it is crucial for natural resource managers and land owners to be prepared for the damage resulting from such storms. The goal of this review paper is … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,937 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeed Germination and Seedling Survival of Spartina alterniflora LoiselPatrick D. Biber, John D. CaldwellSpartina alterniflora (smooth cordgrass) is a widespread intertidal salt marsh plant that is frequently used in coastal restoration projects. Seeds collected in 2004 were tested for seed germination and seedling survival after 6 months of cold seed storage to determine differences among collection locations (experiment 1). Seeds collected in 2005, after Hurricane Katrina, were tested for seed germination and seedling … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,704 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Sensitivity Study of the Validation of Three Regulatory Dispersion ModelsKeith D. Harsham, Michael BennettLidar measurements were made of the dispersion of the plume from a coastal industrial plant over three weeks between September 1996 and May 1998, 67 experimental runs were obtained, mostly of 30 min duration, and these were analysed to provide plume parameters (i.e. height, vertical and lateral spreads). These measurements were supplemented by local meteorological measurements at two portable meteorological … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2008 · 6,714 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 · 6,661 accessesView PDFCite
