1. 11. Shoreline Change in the Kunduchi Beach Area, Tanzania

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Björn Almström; Lisa Larsson; [2008]
   Keywords : teknisk geografi; teknisk geologi; longshore sediment transport; Kunduchi; Shoreline changes; Tanzania; GIS analysis; DSAS; EBED; Hydrogeology; Hydrogeologi; geographical and geological engineering; Civil engineering; hydraulic engineering; offshore technology; soil mechanics; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Coastal erosion is a global problem affecting almost every country in the world having a coastline. This problem is expected to accelerate in the future due to the global warming, which most likely will cause a sea level rise and increase the number of storm events around the globe. READ MORE

3. 12. Hydrodynamic modelling and estimation of exchange rates for Bardawil Lagoon, Egypt. An investigation of governing forces and physical processes using numerical models.

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Jonas Linnersund; Erik Mårtensson; [2008]
   Keywords : Fysisk geografi; climatology; cartography; Environmental studies; Miljöstudier; wind; water balance; tide; sediment transport; salt balance; renewal time; net intertidal volume; finite element; internal circulation; ADCIRC; CMS-Flow; Bardawil Lagoon; Physical geography; pedology; geomorphology; geomorfologi; marklära; kartografi; klimatologi; Technological sciences; Teknik; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Bardawil Lagoon, a natural lagoon located on the northern coast of the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt, there are three inlets of which two are man-made connecting the lagoon with the Mediterranean Sea. The inlets are subjected to changes in morphology, due to sediment transport, over time and this may lead to degrees of closure of either inlet. READ MORE

4. 13. Impact of Coastal Erosion and Sedimentation along the Northern Coast of Sinai Peninsula

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Daniel Emanuelsson; Ali Mirchi; [2007]
   Keywords : hydraulic engineering; El Arish Harbor; El Arish Power Plant; Accretion; Erosion; GENESIS; Longshore Sediment Transport; Shoreline Change Modeling; Civil engineering; Sinai Peninsula; offshore technology; soil mechanics; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Coastal engineering activities during the past five decades have resulted in considerable shoreline change along the northern coast of Sinai Peninsula. In the west of El Arish Power Plant, sediment accretion has reached the tip of the breakwater of the cooling water intake basin necessitating extensive dredging inside the basin. READ MORE

5. 14. Seasonal Closure of Chilaw Inlet in Sri Lanka -Physical Processes and Mathematical Modelling-

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Alexandra Angelbratt; Jon Klyft; [2007]
   Keywords : geomorfologi; Fysisk geografi; climatology; Chilaw inlet; Spit Evolution; Tidal inlets; Inlet Closure; klimatologi; kartografi; Sediment Transport; Mathematical Model; Physical geography; geomorphology; cartography; pedology; marklära; Technological sciences; Teknik; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Chilaw inlet, with the affiliated lagoon, is located on the west coast of Sri Lanka about 120 km north of the capital Colombo. Each year during the summer monsoon, which lasts from May to September, the inlet closes due to a sand spit forming across the inlet. READ MORE

6. 15. A Formula for the Total Longshore Sediment Transport Rate - Development and Evaluation

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Mushaliza Mustar; [2005]
   Keywords : laboratory data; field data; longshore sediment transport; wave energy flux; longshore current; erosion; soil mechanics; hydraulic engineering; Civil engineering; offshore technology; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Presentation of problem: The movement of sediment parallel to the coast by waves and currents is known as longshore sediment transport or littoral transport. Throughout the years, researchers have found that knowledge of longshore sediment transport is important in connection with coastal engineering design, such as construction of breakwaters at harbour entrances, dredging of navigation channels, and improving beaches.
