1.0 Introduction Data collection on Bruny Island yielded several readings associated with climate, topography, and GPS. These readings have been analysed using visual techniques before refining to report on the reasoning behind the different trends in the datasets. As Bruny Island experiences (a general) North-Westerly wind direction, it became evident that vegetation and the topography of one sand dune transect would impose an effect on the recorded wind speed (or velocity) readings. The results associated with the data collected has confirmed this theory. Unfortunately, there is many limitations of the dataset that hindered on the overall quality of the results; especially those associated with the methodology of recording.…
In geography lessons, year 10 have been learning about coastal management. We have gone through topics such as coastal landforms, transportation processes, and processes of coastal erosion so we went to Cronulla Beach to carry out some fieldwork activities and investigations at Wanda Beach and Elouera Beach which is located is located on the Sutherland Shire on Sydney's southern coast and is on the National Surfing Reserves, a register of iconic surfing locations in Australia. It is a popular destination and is only…
Sand dune erosion is occurring on the Cronulla coastline due to the coupling of human and natural impacts and is gradually resulting in the beach being less able to be protect itself from natural implications. The constant sand dune erosion is creating a steeper slope this is allowing waves and winds to rapidly remove sand from the dunes. The sand dune erosion is destroying habitats from plants and animals, this is substantially decreasing the biodiversity on the coastal environment. Sand dune erosion is resulting in loose sand to be blown from the dunes because the vegetation has been removed, this is impacting the coastal environment as it is removing all vegetation causing a significant reduction in the biodiversity which is also disrupting the natural processes for the coastal ecosystem. As the sand dunes are eroding since the waves and winds are removing the sand from the shore, the loss of sand results in the beach becoming narrower and closer to the residents.…

a) Another example of how humans have impacted the stimulus coastal environment is urban development of the coastline. The increased amount of people living near the coast has resulted in more residential construction along the coast and the development of sand dunes for 'prime' real estate and recreational purposes. This has had devastating effects on Australia’s coastline including the damaging effects on the sand dunes that protect the inland areas during times of high energy storms. The construction of buildings, including the marina in the stimulus photo, on top of sand dunes has also seen the increase in the rate of erosion and the loss of sand at several beaches. The marina and breakwater in the stimulus photo also clearly shows the…
On The Waterfront(1954) provides an inside look at the corruption within the waterfront docks of New York. The infrastructure of the docks are monopolized by the mob, oppressing workers and corrupting a fair union. In order to maintain power the mob goes after anyone who violates their deaf and dumb policy. The film opens by showing a scenario in which someone has violated their code and suffers death as a consequence. The conflict that drives the plot is: Will there be justice for the death of Joey Doyle?…
INTRODUCTION: The project our group is doing is developing a sensory room for Coastal Connections. This report will explain in details what our final proposal to solving this problem. The project involves turning an ordinary room into a sensory room, which would provide the client with a calming and relaxing room, for the mentally disabled. For this project, are only making one component within the room.…

Coastal Artillery spent the first part separated from the rest of the army. Therefore, the army considered the usefulness of Coastal Artillery regiments’ was limited to the rear of the battlefield. Therefore, Coastal Artillery focused on their sea cost mission. Which was to develop bigger, longer-range and more accurate antiaircraft artillery weapons.…
Each of these areas are different and have an effect on the state’s economy and tourism. The Coastal Plain region is located along the Atlantic Ocean. This land is flat, but does have some rolling hills. This area is very good for the fishing industry, and also brings in a lot of money because of tourism.…
Alfred Wegener is the man that introduced us to the Continental Drift Theory. He spent many years looking for clues from the past to support his idea of drifting continents. Alfred discovered many plants and fossils in many different Continents that where supposedly all together, at one time when they were together it was called Pangaea (Pangaea is the name for what included all current land masses, believed to have been in existence before the continents broke apart during the Jurassic Periods). For example some fossil evidence he found was the Mesosaurus is a fresh water reptile and it’s found in Africa and South America, although there’s an ocean between Africa and South America, there is no way the reptile swam. Also knowing that this reptile was of found on India and Antarctica, Antarctica had to be joined with India and was once warm.…
The area that is between tide marks - it is above water at low tide and above water at high tide. The relatively shallow part of the ocean extending from mean low water to 660 ft depths. It receives varying amounts of sunlight, so there is still some photosynthesis. The bathyal zone – (also known as midnight zone) extends to depths of 3300 to 13000 feet, below the ocean surface.…
How and Why California coast (Pacific Coast) is Eroding faster than it should and the effect of it. I chose the California Coast or the Pacific Coast as it is one of the most popular coasts in the world. California has always been in the news for various natural disasters like forest fires, earthquakes and now Coastal erosion. California is also the World’s IT capital where all the famous companies like Google, Facebook, Apple etc are located. Many Indians migrate to california for jobs.…
LINEAR WAVE THEORY Linear wave theory can be defined as first-order, small amplitude gravity wave with a sinusoidal shape. This theory has been developed by Airy in 1845. It is easy to apply and give reasonable approximation of wave characteristic for a wide range of wave parameters. However, in some situations, waves are better described by higher order theories or also referred as finite-amplitude wave theories.…
Sea level continues to rise in recent years, but also that the rate gradually accelerated, according to some data of observations. Sea level is rising primarily because as global temperatures increase, oceans are warming, which causes sea water to expand; and land ice is melting, which transfers water to the ocean. The rise of sea level will increase the risk of the coastal inundation. “Climate change will not introduce any new types of coastal hazard” (Manatu Mo Te Taiao, 2004), but the climate change will affect the coastal hazards. The height of the tide is very significant decisive factor for the coastal inundation and the rise of sea level will affect the exceedance of the high water of high tides.…
