Geomorphic and Coastal Process Analysis for Ship Channel Planning at Ship Island, Mississippi

Pages : 340
Book Description
Westward migration of Ship Island, Mississippi, has resulted in significant channel shoaling and increased maintenance dredging requirements of the Gulfport Harbor Ship Channel, requiring realignment of the channel to the west around the advancing island tip. The western island tip has migrated westward approximately 38 ft/year since 1848. The subaerial island area has decreased at the rate of 4.5 acres/year since 1948. As the Ship Island barrier system migrates westward, the gulf shoreline along the eastern end erodes, supplying sand to the advancing western tip. Alternative channel alignments were studied as potential solutions to the shoaling problems caused by the island migration. An alignment passing 1,900 ft west of the island tip would allow approximately 50 years before the island tip reaches the channel edge, based on the 38 ft/year migration rate. This alignment is favorable according to the following criteria: construction and maintenance costs as a function of dredging requirements; channel navigability; siltation potential; and complexity of design and construction.

Cities and Their Vital Systems

Book Description
Cities and Their Vital Systems asks basic questions about the longevity, utility, and nature of urban infrastructures; analyzes how they grow, interact, and change; and asks how, when, and at what cost they should be replaced. Among the topics discussed are problems arising from increasing air travel and airport congestion; the adequacy of water supplies and waste treatment; the impact of new technologies on construction; urban real estate values; and the field of "telematics," the combination of computers and telecommunications that makes money machines and national newspapers possible.
