2. 1. Living on Another Shore : Early Scandinavian Settlement on the North-Western Estonian Coast

   Author : Felicia Markus; Anders Kaliff; Göran Hoppe; Kerstin Cassel; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Archaeology; Estonia; Estonian Swedes; Scandinavian settlement; Iron Age; early Medieval Period; colonisation; ethnic identity; migration; Baltic Sea; contacts; Christianisation; Arkeologi; Archaeology subjects; Arkeologiämnen; arkeologi; Archaeology;

   Abstract : Prior to the Second World War, there was a Swedish-speaking population settled on the north-western Estonian coasts. The early history of this group is largely unknown. No colonisation is mentioned in the written sources. The earliest such sources that mention Swedes originate in the late thirteenth century. READ MORE

4. 2. Vane applications and vane induced flow

   Author : Fredrick Marelius; KTH; []
   Keywords : vane; erosion; shore protection; vortex; scour; ;

   Abstract : Vanes are essentially small aspect ratio foils used forguiding sediment, by means of affecting the flow features. Theyare usually placed on the river bed and aligned with an angleof attack to the approach flow, thereby inducing a secondaryflow component that is used for guiding sediment in a desireddirection.

5. 3. Hydrographic and morphologic processes at Falsterbo peninsula - Present conditions and future scenarios

   Author : Sten Blomgren; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hydrogeology; Wave climate; Unconfined aquifer; Shore protection; Sea-level rise; Numerical modeling; Kriging; Groins; Flooding; Greenhouse effect; Digital elevation model; Beach erosion; Coastal morphology; geographical and geological engineering; Hydrogeologi; teknisk geologi; teknisk geografi; Geophysics; physical oceanography; meteorology; Geofysik; fysisk oceanografi; meteorologi;

   Abstract : Falsterbo Peninsula in the south-west corner of Sweden is low-lying and built up of unconsolidated sand. Vulnerability to high water levels and wave action is of concern for the 10,000 residents of the peninsula, especially in consideration of global warming as enhanced inundation and coastal erosion problems may ensue.

6. 4. Processes of long-term coastal evolution and their mathematical modelling : Application to the Mozambican coast

   Author : JAIME PALALANE; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; coastal evolution; coastal processes; mathematical modelling; Mozambican coast; coastal erosion; Macaneta; spit model; long-term evolution;

   Abstract : Different processes in response to the action of natural driven forces and the human interference on coastal systems act together, contributing to shape the coast. Coastal evolution models have been developed as useful tools to better understand the contribution of different processes on observed coastal changes, and also to anticipate future evolution in response to different actions and interventions taking place along the coast.

7. 5. Safety within the Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) Domain. Understanding the role of the VTS for safety within maritime traffic management

   Author : Gesa Praetorius; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; maritime safety; safety construction; traffic management; Vessel Traffic Service VTS ;

   Abstract : Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) is a shore-sided service implemented to promote the safety of navigation, safety of life at sea, and the protection of the marine environment. Its purpose is to work for safe and fluent traffic movements within a determined area, a VTS area. READ MORE
