This paper presents a two-way coupling methodology between the robust Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH)-based fluid solver DualSPHysics and the lumped-mass mooring dynamics solver MoorDynPlus. Such integration enable...

Contamination with anthropogenic debris, such as plastic and paint particles, has been widely investigated in the global marine environment. However, there is a lack of information regarding their presence in marine prot...

Aim: Understanding the spatial ecology of animal movements is a critical element in conserving long-lived, highly mobile marine species. Analyzing networks developed from movements of six sea turtle species reveals marin...

Este trabajo presenta resultados típicos de estudios efectuados en diversas estructuras de hormigón armado afectadas por problemas de corrosión. Los casos analizados contemplan por un lado, problemas de corrosión ini...

Abstract More than 1.450 marine fish species are commercialized as ornamental fish and approximately 90% of these are wild-caught. Rainford's butterflyfish, Chaetodon rainfordi (McCulloch, 1923), is endemic to the wester...

Los otolitos son estructuras de carbonato de calcio, depositado en forma de aragonita, ubicados en el oído interno de peces óseos. En los últimos años se han convertido en una herramienta útil para la determinación...

This benchmark case study introduces recently developed state-of-the-art general purpose multi-modal nonstationary reliability assessment method for marine, offshore, and naval structures, suitable for physically measure...

The Malta Horst is a NW–SE-trending, 30 km wide structural high situated on the southern Hyblean-Malta Plateau, which is an African continental indenter in collision with Eurasia. Sediments consist of a shallow marine ...

Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) raise concerns among coastal communities due to their potential impacts on marine biodiversity and fisheries. This issue is particularly striking in France, where the government is...

Against the global backdrop of accelerating climate change and the urgent need for energy transition, understanding the role of protected areas in shaping renewable energy consumption has become increasingly important. U...

"The presence of sulfated polysaccharides in cell walls of seaweeds is considered to be a consequence of the physiological adaptation to the high salinity of the marine environment. Recently, it was found that sulfated p...

The Northern Patagonian Andes have been constructed through multiple mechanisms that range from tectonic inversion of extensional structures of Early to Middle Jurassic age in the Main Andes to Oligocene in the Precordil...

Thick (10s of m) successions of highly bioturbated, storm-influenced shallow-marine deposits are relatively uncommon in the rock record. Some examples have been reported from retrogradational successions associated with ...

The IntCal09 and Marine09 radiocarbon calibration curves have been revised utilizing newly available and updated data sets from 14 C measurements on tree rings, plant macrofossils, speleothems, corals, and foraminifera. ...

Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration is expected to exceed 500 parts per million and global temperatures to rise by at least 2 degrees C by 2050 to 2100, values that significantly exceed those of at least the past 42...

La Aloformación Punta San Andrés aflora principalmente a lo largo de las barrancas costeras que se desarrollan desde la ciudad de Mar del Plata hasta la ciudad de Miramar y comprende las sedimentitas de edad plio-pleis...

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for assessing the science related to climate change. It provides policymakers with regular assessments of the scientific basis of hum...

Aims: To investigate the potential to degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) of yet-to-be-cultured bacterial populations from chronically polluted intertidal sediments. Methods and Results: A gene variant encodi...

Abstract During a study of the helminth parasites of carangid fish of the Gulf of Mexico, Protomicrocotyle mirabilis and a new member of that genus were found. The aim of the present study is to provide new morphological...
