Coastal Inlet Research Electronic Information Clearinghouse
As part of our overall effort on tidal inlets, coastal processes, and engineering applications we are participating in a project to develop an operational numerical modeling scheme that will be capable of simulating hydrodynamics, sediment transport and resulting morphological changes at tidal inlets. The environment will include inlet shoals, channel, nearshore and back barrier environments, as well as adjacent beaches. We have established this web site to serve as a clearinghouse for information and electronic discussions among the various team members. The major groups involved include the University of North Carolina, the Coastal Inlet Research Program personnel as WES/CHL, Boston University, two research/faculty types from Sweden, a few people from the private consulting and FIT
The idea is to have the various team members provide references, discussions, summaries of project results and links as tools for information exchange. I envision that the information will be in pdf and that web page users will be able to either download and/or open the documents. The web page will be password protected - I will ask SCT the rules and methods for establishing passwords on the FIT web server. I would like you to set up the framework of a web site according to the following format. The overall structure is as follows
Main Page (Title, brief mission statement and guidelines)
Discussion page (..."Chat Room/Bulletin Board" to allow for on-line discussion of issues, questions, etc.)
Numerical Methods reference page
Sediment transport Ref. Page
Inlet/Coastal Geomorphology page
The web site will provide lists of significant research/references
in each of the three project areas, the background information that we
have already developed, schedules for upcoming meetings, and links
to other relevant information and projects. There will also be an opportunity
to download technical reports and other types of milestone that are generated
- as long as they are in PDF format.
