A Critical Analysis of the Wind Generated Effect on the Rate of Overtopping on the Hinkley Point C Sea Wall Through the use of Physical Modelling
(University of Plymouth, 2019)It is widely observed that storms and the associated extremes of wind and wave conditions result in dramatic cases of sea defence overtopping. This phenomenon highlights a gap in knowledge that the industry standard EurOtop ... -
Water butts as sustainable (urban) drainage systems (SuDS) devices
(University of Plymouth, 2019)Heightened levels of urban development and population rise, combined with increased precipitation resulting from climatic variations, have escalated runoff rates within urban areas, causing urban flooding and polluting ... -
Investigating changes in the chemical composition of wood upon digestion by wood-boring Bivalves of the sub-family Xylophagaidae, and potential implications for marine biogeochemical cycles
(University of Plymouth, 2019)The sub-family of molluscs Xylophagaidae are the primary degraders of wood in the oceans. They are part of an opportunistic ecosystem, which survives on temporary falls of large organic matter, such as carcasses and wood ... -
