Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences
Author: W. H. Shafer
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1468442295
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and dis seminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the ac tivity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volume were handled by an international publishing. house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 25 (thesis year 1980) a total of 10,308 theses titles from 27 Canadian and 214 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for theses titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 25 reports theses submitted in 1980, on occasion, certain universities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Analysis of Coastal Sediment Transport Processes from Wrightsville Beach to Fort Fisher, North Carolina
Author: T. C. Winton
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Coastal engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
A comprehensive engineering analysis of the coastal sediment transport processes along a 42-kilometer segment of the North Carolina shoreline from Wrightsville Beach to Fort Fisher is presented. Included in the analysis is an interpretation of the littoral processes, longshore transport, and the behavior and success of beach nourishment projects at Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach, North Carolina. The historical position of the MLW, MSL, and MHW contours, relative to a fixed base line, is plotted for the period between 1964 and 1975. An equivalent volumetric erosion or accretion between successive surveys is determined by multiplying the average excursion distance of the contours by a constant of proportionality. The plots of excursion distance versus time for the MLW, MSL, and MHW contours also show the time response of the beach fills. This response is described by a mathematical function. The alongshore components of wave-induced energy flux are also determined within the study area through wave refraction analysis. This information, together with the information on volumetric change, is used in a sediment budget analysis to determine the coefficient of alongshore sediment transport and the inlet trapping characteristics.

Modern Sedimentation and Estuarine Shoreline Change Around Roanoke Island, North Carolina

Category : Croatan Sound (N.C.)
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
Croatan and Roanoke sounds in North Carolina (NC) are regions constantly undergoing geomorphic changes associated with sea-level rise, storm events, and anthropogenic modification. These estuaries are part of the larger Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine System (APES), a composite of drowned coastal plain river valleys and large bar-built shallow sounds fronted by the Outer Banks barrier islands. Changes in shoreline morphology driven by erosion and accretion, associated with oceanographic/atmospheric drivers (e.g., wave energy, fetch), influence modern sedimentological patterns and sedimentation rates in the APES. This research focused on the dynamics and controls of modern sedimentary processes (e.g., accumulation) and shoreline change on an anthropogenic time-scale (~100 years) around Roanoke Island, NC. Sedimentological, geochemical, and geospatial analyses provided the necessary information for modern interpretation of the geological processes at work within the past century. Surficial sediment analyses revealed variable grain-size patterns and high loss on ignition (% LOI, organic content proxy) across the region. Sediment accumulation rates (0.12 ± 0.01 cm/y to 0.37 ± 0.04 cm/y) varied over the long-term, and one location (DH-S17) displayed rapid episodic deposition (2.3 ± 0.5 cm/month). Long-term shoreline change (1915-2012) indicated net erosion of the system (-0.68 ± 0.05 m/y), with temporal changes observed in the intermediate time-intervals, and more accretion was captured in the recent- and short-term (2007-2012: -0.24 ± 0.32 m/y). Long-term shoreline change rates (SCRs) provided insight into chronic changes (hydrodynamic and geomorphic changes), while short-term rates, due to events (e.g., hurricanes), revealed episodic variations in accretion and erosion that might not represent the long-term patterns in the system. Overall, the amount of sediment eroded from the shoreline over the 97-year interval (1915-2012) was calculated to be 8.32 x 106 m3, with a mass of 4.16 x 109-8.32 x 109 kg (assuming a dry bulk density range of 0.5-1.0 g/cm3). A sediment accumulation budget of 9.32 x 103 m3/y (7.24 x 106 kg/y) was calculated for two regions (offshore UNC CSI, Shallowbag Bay), and modern accumulation accounts for ~11% (8.57 x 104 m3/y) of the amount of annually eroded sediment. Data from this thesis indicate that the majority of eroded sediment is exported out of Croatan and Roanoke sounds. Spatial and temporal trends in shoreline change and accompanying sedimentary characteristics examined in this thesis provide insight to coastal managers and homeowners in systems similar to the Roanoke Island area.
