Irregular wave runup statistics on plane beaches: Application of a Boussinesq-type model incorporating a generating–absorbing sponge layer and second-order wave generation
Abstract Efficient absorption of reflected waves at the offshore boundary is a prerequisite for the accurate physical or theoretical modelling of long-duration irregular wave runup statistics at uniform, gently sloped beaches. This paper presents an ...

HSIM: A Hybrid Stochastic Simulation System for Systems Biology
Abstract This paper describes a method to obtain in a certain sense the best of two well known simulation approaches: Stochastic simulation of chemical reactions and Entity-centered (multi-agents) systems. The stochastic simulation algorithm and its ...

Predicting coastal morphological changes with empirical orthogonal function method
Abstract In order to improve the accuracy of prediction when using the empirical orthogonal function (EOF) method, this paper describes a novel approach for two-dimensional (2D) EOF analysis based on extrapolating both the spatial and temporal EOF...

Preliminary Experiments and Modelling of the Fate of CO2 Bubbles in the Water Column Near Panarea Island (Italy)
Abstract Although CO2 capture and storage in deep, offshore reservoirs is a proven technology, as illustrated by over 15 years of operation of the Sleipner site in the Norwegian North Sea, potential leakage from such sites into the overlying water...

Threshold Values for Identification of Contamination Predicted by Reduced-Order Models
Abstract The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) National Risk Assessment Partnership (NRAP) Project is developing reduced-order models to evaluate potential impacts on underground sources of drinking water (USDWs) if CO2 or brine leaks from deep...

Analysis of long-term weather, snow and avalanche data at Glacier National Park, B.C., Canada
Abstract Long-term changes of the global climate system have been observed. However, the effect of long-term changes in the climate system on avalanche hazard in mountainous areas remains inconclusive. For this study we analyzed long-term weather,...

Bathymetry predicted from vertical gravity gradient anomalies and ship soundings
Abstract: In this paper, the admittance function between seafloor undulations and vertical gravity gradient anomalies was derived. Based on this admittance function, the bathymetry model of 1 minute resolution was predicted from vertical gravity...
