Numerical modelling of the impact of coral reef degradation and sea level rise on coastal protection at The Buccoo Reef, Tobago: implications for reef restoration and management st... by Avinash Boodoo, Deborah Villarroel-Lamb

“…The influence of reef roughness on frictional dissipation under representative conditions, and the extent to which coral reef degradation and Sea Level Rise (SLR) reduces this coastal protection service remains underexplored, especially at coastal sites in Caribbean Small Island Developing States. A numerical modelling approach using a coupled depth-averaged (2DH) hydrodynamic and spectral wave model in Delft3D was used to evaluate the coastal protection effectiveness of a fringing reef under varying scenarios of coral reef degradation and SLR at The Buccoo Reef, Tobago. …”

Development of Open Transport of Aqueous Fluid from Pegmatite Revealed by Trace Elements in Garnet by Astin Nurdiana, Atsushi Okamoto, Masaoki Uno, Noriyoshi Tsuchiya

“…We investigated the fluid flow and elemental transport from a granitic body to the middle crust by determining the trace element compositions of garnet in pegmatites related to a quartz diorite intrusion and metamorphic rocks on Kinkasan Island, northeast Japan. Garnet in the pegmatites and biotite schists is characterized by spessartine– (Sps–) almandine- (Alm-) rich compositions of Sps14–69Alm22–70Prp2–14Grs1–13 and Sps16–30Alm54–66Prp9–16Grs3–6, respectively. …”

Simulating Genetic Mixing in Strongly Structured Populations of the Threatened Southern Brown Bandicoot (Isoodon obesulus) by John G. Black, Steven J. B. Cooper, Thomas L. Schmidt, Andrew R. Weeks

“…Our autosomal heterozygosity pipeline indicated significant variability in mean heterozygosity between populations, identifying one extremely genetically degraded population on Inner Sister Island, Tasmania. Genetic mixing simulations of a low heterozygosity captive population in Victoria suggested the greatest increase in heterozygosity would be reached by using highly differentiated populations as mixing sources. …”
