A frequency distributed dissipation model for canopies
Existing dissipation models (bulk and frequency distributed) describing the wave attenuation in canopies rely on a characteristic shape of the velocity profile and corresponding characteristic frequency, which is integrated analytically over the height of the canopy. This means that all frequencies higher than the characteristic peak frequency are assigned excessive dissipation, while all frequencies lower […]

Quantifying Wildlife and Navigation Benefits of a Dredging Beneficial-Use Project in the Lower Atchafalaya River: A Demonstration of Engineering With Nature®
Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) operates and maintains numerous projects in support of its various civil works missions including flood damage risk reduction, navigation, and ecosystem restoration. Originally authorized on an economic basis, these projects may produce a broad array of unaccounted for ecosystem services (ESs) that contribute […]
Terra et Aqua article: How can the Dredging Sector Join the Global Shirt towards Sustainability?
Terra et Aqua Three guiding principles are set forth to guide the sustainable development of marine infrastructure projects. For marine infrastructure projects, the importance of vision and value creation, adapting projects to nature from the onset, and viewing a project and its impacts over the long term are key to success. The insights presented in […]
