Book Description
Commencing in June 1992, the first 57 concrete units of an experimental proprietary submerged breakwater, the Prefabricated Erosion Prevention (PEP) Reef, were installed off Midtown Beach in the Town of Palm Beach. In the spring and summer of 1993, the remaining 273 units were installed for a total of 330 units with a total length of 4176 feet. The units were six feet high and were placed in water depths of approximately 9.5 feet. The purpose of the installation was to both reduce wave heights and to accumulate sand in its lee. To document the performance of this installation, a comprehensive field monitoring investigation was undertaken and is reported herein. The monitoring program included surveys to document the changes in beach and nearshore conditions, wave and current gages, leveling to quantify settling of the individual units, scour monitoring devices, remote video to monitor breaking on the natural reef which is approximately 700 feet seaward of the PEP Reef and biological components. The monitoring results extended from July 1992 to June 1995, a total period of 35 months.

Book Description
This report presents a preliminary and partial analysis of the March, 1995 survey data collected in conjunction with the PEP Reef monitoring program at the Midtown Beach installation. In particular, the analysis presented herein includes only the profile data concentrating on volume changes. The data representing the elevations of the individual PEP Reef units has just been received. After receipt of all data, the full results of this monitoring period will be incorporated in a later report.

Design Of Coastal Hazard Mitigation Alternatives For Rising Seas
Author: David BascoPublisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9811206953
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1032
Book Description
This timely book is about how to design alternatives to reduce coastal flood and wave damage, erosion, and loss of ecosystems facing an unknown future of sea level rise. The latest theories are interlaced with applied examples from the authors' 48 years of experience in teaching, research, and as a practicing, professional engineer in coastal engineering. The design process takes into consideration all the design constraints (scientific, engineering, economic, environmental, social/political/institutional, aesthetic, and media) to meet today's client needs, expectations, and budgets for an uncertain future.The book is organized as a textbook for graduate students. And, it is a self-contained reference for government and consulting engineers responsible for finding solutions to coastal hazards facing the world's coastal populations. New solutions are included in the book that help people of all socio-economic levels living at the coast. Both risk reduction metrics quantified in monetary terms, and increased resilience metrics quantified as vulnerability reduction must now be taken into consideration to make equitable design decisions on hazard mitigation alternatives.In the Anthropocene Era, under 'deep uncertainty' in global mean sea level predictions for the future, today's designs must mitigate today's storm damages, and be adaptable for the unpredictable water levels and storms of the future. This book includes a design 'philosophy' for water levels to year 2050 and for the long term from 2050 to 2100. Multiple spreadsheets are provided and organized to aid the design process.This is an exciting time to be 'thinkers' as Civil/Coastal engineers.Related Link(s)

Book Description
The SCOR (Scientific Committee on Ocean Research of ICSU) Working Group 106 was tasked with reviewing the geomorphic, sedimentary and oceanographic dynamics of muddy costs, assessing the impact of sea level rise on muddy coasts, especially in estuaries, and to recommend future research pathways relating to muddy coasts. This book addresses these questions and includes chapters on the research issues of muddy coasts, the definition of muddy coasts, sea level rise effects on muddy coasts, fundamental dynamic processes effecting muddy coast formation, the role of mangrove and salt marsh vegetation, bio-geochemistry of muddy coast deposits, storm surge effects on muddy coasts, human impacts on muddy coasts, and a detailed geographical review of muddy coasts of the world. The volume presents examples of muddy coasts sedimentation from many different environments of the world including the broad expanse muddy coast of China, muddy coasts of continental trailing edges (the Americas), muddy coasts in seasonally ice covered environments, muddy coasts in areas of tropical coral reefs, muddy coasts from the tropics, muddy coasts resulting from large river discharges, and muddy coasts of mid-latitude oceanic islands.
