Laboratory study was set out to investigate the flow structure and turbulent kinetic energy ($TKE$) within mangrove forest considering flexible canopies and rigid stems under various wave conditions. Canopies and stems have different…
Coastal vegetation serves as an ecological defense and plays an important role when facing marine disaster such as storm surge. In this study, we investigated experimentally the wave attenuation, including wave height and wave force decay,…
Climate change is an impending disaster which is of pressing concern more and more every year. Countless efforts have been made to study the long-term effects of climate change on agriculture, land resources, and biodiversity. Studies…
The effects of two hurricanes (Katrina and Wilma) on protected mangroves in southwest Florida and two hurricanes (Emily and Dean) on protected mangroves in the Yucatan Peninsula were assessed paired sets of 20m multispectral SPOT and 16-day…
The root systems of mangroves, a tree species found in intertidal tropical and sub-tropical coastal zones, provide a natural barrier that dissipates wave energy effectively and reduces sediment erosion. In this work, we use a combination of…
Understanding how submerged vegetation modifies the water surface is crucial for modeling momentum exchange between shallow waters and the atmosphere. In particular, quantifying its impact on the equivalent aerodynamic roughness of the…
Mangroves are found worldwide across the rivers and coastlines in tropical regions. They are robust against storm surges and tsunamic for a long time. The roots have the most contributions for their resiliency and therefore can be inspired…
Communities around the world are increasingly interested in nature-based solutions to mitigation of coastal risks like coastal forests, but it remains unclear how much protective benefits vegetation provides, particularly in the limit of…
The accurate prediction of wave height attenuation due to vegetation is crucial for designing effective and efficient natural and nature-based solutions for flood mitigation, shoreline protection, and coastal ecosystem preservation. Central…
Large arrays of wave-absorbing structures could serve the double objective of coastal protection against erosion and clean, renewable electrical power production. In this work, the principle of an artificial canopy is explored, which…
Mangrove canopy height is a key metric to assess tidal forests' resilience in the face of climate change. In terrestrial forests, tree height is primarily determined by water availability, plant hydraulic design, and disturbance regime.…
Coasts are obstructions to the classical derivation of continuously stratified quasigeostrophic equations, due to possible resonances between slow internal coastally trapped Kelvin waves and anticyclones. [Deremble et al Ocean Modelling…
Riparian vegetation along riverbanks and seagrass along coastlines interact with water currents, significantly altering their flow. To characterise the turbulent fluid motion along the streamwise--edge of a region covered by submerged…
A layer of vegetation over the soil surface absorbs microwave radiation emitted from the soil and some objects located under the vegetation canopy. This paper investigates the microwave propagation process within the vegetation layer and…
High-resolution, near-ground wind-speed data are critical for improving the accuracy of weather predictions and climate models,$^{1-3}$ supporting wildfire control efforts,$^{4-7}$ and ensuring the safe passage of airplanes during takeoff…
Tidal and riverine hydrokinetic turbines offer promising solutions for renewable energy generation in aquatic environments. However, their ecological impact, especially on fish behavior, warrants a thorough investigation. This study…
Due to the multitude of scales present in realistic oceanic conditions, resolving the surface stress is computationally intensive, motivating modeling approaches. In this work, a dynamic wave drag model is developed for Large Eddy…
The Model Coupling Executable Library (MCEL), developed at the University of Southern Mississippi's Center of Higher Learning, has been successfully used to couple the Coupled Ocean/Atmospheric Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS) and the…
Coastal planners using probabilistic risk assessments to evaluate structural flood risk reduction projects may wish to simulate the hydrodynamics associated with large suites of tropical cyclones in large ensembles of landscapes: with and…
The drag coefficient $C_d$ for a rigid and uniformly distributed rod canopy covering a sloping channel following the instantaneous collapse of a dam was examined using flume experiments. The measurements included space $x$ and time $t$ high…
