A research team led by Prof. Xiao Kai from the Yantai Institute of Coastal Zone Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has systematically elucidated the transformation and transport processes of ...

Revegetation of pioneer plants is a critical phase in community establishment for mudflats in seriously degraded coastal wetlands. We tested a hypothesis of the importance of a “power balance” among ...

For nearly a century, the O'Shaughnessy seawall has held back the sand and seas of San Francisco's Ocean Beach. At work even longer: the Galveston seawall, built after America's deadliest hurricane in ...
