Spatio-temporal variability of tidal asymmetry due to multiple coastal constructions along the west coast of Korea

Tidal Asymmetry and Energy Variation Due to Sea-Level Rise in a Macro Tidal Bay

“…According to the tidal asymmetry study along the WCK (Suh et al, 2014), GGB in particular, showed abrupt change of tidal hydrodynamics from ebb to flood dominance. In this paper, the region of interest (ROI) is confined to the GGB to examine the tidal hydrodynamic alteration there.…”

“…Subsequent improvements, details of code, manuals, and related utilites can be found at http://adcirc.org. Details of nodal intensity and other numerical parameters in modeling of ADCIRC can be found in a related article (Suh et al, 2014).…”

“…Suh et al (2014) revealed that completion of the Siwha Dike, among a series of coastal developments, has behaved as a tipping point in tidal hydrodynamic changes from ebb to flood dominance. showed that landreclamation construction caused significant changes in tidal amplitude throughout the Bohai Sea because of extensive natural and anthropogenic activities.…”

“…The GGB has been influenced by the coastal anthropogenic activities of Korean and China (Song et al 2013;Suh et al 2014) in terms of the near-and far-field effects during the last several decades. Suh et al (2014) revealed that completion of the Siwha Dike, among a series of coastal developments, has behaved as a tipping point in tidal hydrodynamic changes from ebb to flood dominance.…”

The urgent global need to understand port and harbour ecosystems

“…Artificial structures such as ports, pilings and seawalls have replaced much of the natural shoreline reducing native biodiversity (Bulleri and Chapman 2010) and land has been reclaimed changing the hydrodynamics of the waterways (e.g. Suh et al 2014). Contaminants exist as legacies of industrial waste disposal practices rendering local seafood toxic to consumers and diffuse inputs from concretised catchments cause ongoing water quality problems alongside the degradation of marine vegetation (Kennish 1997;Birch 2000).…”
