This paper discusses the results of research into pollutants in runoff from road pavement surfaces following natural rainfall events. Road water quality was monitored at 21 sites centering around Brisbane, southeast Queensland, Australia. The were selected according to traffic volumes, surrounding land use, surface type, ease access, and commercial vehicle percentage. Bridge chosen for convenience sample collection minimized infrastructure modification. “First flush” grab samplers...
Multi-criteria decision-making techniques have become increasingly widespread in strategic environmental decision making. In Australia, these are used to integrate both conservation and development aspects of natural resource use. MCDM can also evaluate the effects uncertainties at each stage process examine sensitivity results inputs. This paper reviews potential management procedures explores how uncertainty analysis framework address some uncertainties. It then examines application 16...
Headland bypassing is a mainly wave-driven coastal process that interconnects sediment compartments and allows the continuity of longshore transport. In turn, waves are subject to variability atmospheric patterns climate drivers. This study focuses on identifying systems associated hydrodynamic conditions have triggered pulses in area, Fingal Head (New South Wales, Australia), over last 33 years. For this, clustering techniques were applied identify 225 weather types represent daily...
During storms, ensuring the protection of people, vehicles and infrastructure on crest coastal structures from wave overtopping hazards is crucial. The thickness layer a key variable used for assessing safety maintaining secure design. Traditionally, this parameter associated with height difference between fictitious run-up level exceeded by 2% waves freeboard structures. This study aims to investigate rubble mound seawalls. To achieve this, series 125 small-scale 2D physical model tests...

Ever-expanding networks of surf cameras offer a unique opportunity to monitor the coastline over large expanses at very little cost compared traditional in situ survey methods. Here, we describe and test new coastal monitoring system maintained by CoastalCOMS Pty Ltd. their site Gold Coast, Australia. The two-camera monitors two highly sensitive 4-km stretches sandy adjacent high-value assets. static multi-camera setup has been replaced single rotational camera. A 14-month data set,...

Extreme events, particularly tropical cyclones approaching area, can generate storm waves surges which have...
In response to the increasing occurrences of beach erosion along Surfers Paradise and Main Beaches - Gold Coast, Australia, Northern Coast Beach Protection Strategy [NGCBPS] was developed widen by 20-30m as well improving surfing conditions a secondary objective. The strategy, implemented in 1999- 2000, involved large-scale nourishment construction submerged breakwater "reef† act control point at Narrowneck.
