Abstract. The extreme sea levels and waves experienced around the UK's coast during 2013/14 winter caused extensive coastal flooding damage. Coastal managers seek to place such extremes in relation anticipated standards of flood protection, long-term recovery natural system. In this context, return periods are often used as a form guidance. This paper provides these for storms, discusses their application given data sets two UK case study sites: Sefton, northwest England, Suffolk, east...
The properties of wave fields induced by high-speed ferries and recently introduced conventional with increased cruise speeds are analysed for a site in Tallinn Bay, the Gulf Finland, Baltic Sea, located about 3 km from sailing line up to 8 production area.The analysis is based on high-resolution profiling water surface 650 wakes fast ferries, measured during 4 weeks June-July 2008.The new large 25-30 knots (~ 45-55 km/h) sail at near-critical along extensive sections eastern excite...
Intertidal seagrass plays a vital role in estimating the overall health and dynamics of coastal environments due to its interaction with tidal changes. However, most habitats around globe have been steady decline human impacts, disturbing already delicate balance environmental conditions that sustain seagrass. Miniaturization multi-spectral sensors has facilitated very high resolution mapping meadows, which significantly improves potential for ecologists monitor In this study, two analytical...
Seagrass beds provide a range of ecosystem services but are at risk from anthropogenic pressures. While recent progress has been made, the distribution and condition South Pacific seagrass is relatively poorly known selecting an appropriate approach for mapping it challenging. A variety remote sensing tools available this purpose here we develop toolbox associated decision tree tailored to context. The considers scale which data needed, reason that monitoring required, finances available,...
Coastal waters are characterised by complex wave fields that influenced inhomogeneous bathymetries, and changing tidal- wind-induced currents. Understanding these interactions is important for coastal engineering environmental management. Remote sensing techniques, such as radar flow field data collection, increase the amount of available information. Unlike in-situ techniques (e.g. buoys, or moored current meters), remote can provide continuous observation several parameters (waves,...
