The deleterious effects (biodeterioration) and the protective benefits (bioprotection) of
biological colonisation on manmade structures have long been debated. Lichens, biofilms …

Sensing and measurement techniques are necessary to study, evaluate, and understand the
complex physical and chemical interactions that must occur for the successful deployment of …

Abstract New York State has nearly 5.3 million buildings, and all of them are vulnerable in
some way to the impacts of climate change. Understanding these impacts is critical, because …

Coastal wetlands protect communities during hurricanes by reducing storm surge flooding
and damages. Previous studies have quantified surge reduction benefits of wetlands, but …

Climate change has the potential to significantly impact transportation infrastructure
performance. Bridges crossing rivers are designed to withstand a maximum flood level …

The global loss of coastal habitats is putting communities at risk of erosion and flooding, as
well as impacting ecosystem function, cultural values, biodiversity, and other services …

Managed dyke realignment is a method of creating more coastal wetland environments, by
breaching constructed dykes (levees) to allow seawater driven by tides to flood the land …

Coastal flood managers seek to anticipate future flood risk and as a result consider the
adaptation of flood defences. Instead of crest heightening, dikes can be adapted to include …

An analytical and experimental study of flow velocities within submerged canopies of rigid
cylinders under oscillatory flows is presented, providing insights into the momentum transfer …

Anthropogenic activity leads to changes in sediment dynamics, creating imbalances in
sediment distributions across the landscape. These imbalances can be variable within a …
