Tidal-Forcing Groundwater Dynamics In A Restored Coastal Wetland: Implications Of Saline Intrusion, William Glamore, Buddhima Indraratna Dec 2011

Tidal-Forcing Groundwater Dynamics In A Restored Coastal Wetland: Implications Of Saline Intrusion, William Glamore, Buddhima Indraratna

Buddhima Indraratna

Tidal restoration projects are currently being undertaken throughout coastal Australia without a full understanding of the influence of tidal forcing on groundwater salinity. To determine the impact of restoring tidal flows on groundwater salinity levels, field investigations were undertaken at a study site near Berry, New South Wales. Fluctuations in groundwater and surface water chemistry (soluble chloride, pH, electrical conductivity) and hydrodynamics were measured over a 12 week period using multilevel piezometers and submersible data loggers spaced at discrete distances from a flood mitigation drain. Additional parameters, including saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat), were undertaken to determine baseline conditions and to …

Relationship Between Recent Flight Experience And Pilot Error General Aviation Accidents, Sarah Nilsson Apr 2011

Relationship Between Recent Flight Experience And Pilot Error General Aviation Accidents, Sarah Nilsson

Sarah Nilsson

Aviation insurance agents and fixed-base operation (FBO) owners use recent flight experience, as implied by the 90-day rule, to measure pilot proficiency in physical airplane skills, and to assess the likelihood of a pilot error accident.  The generally accepted premise is that more experience in a recent timeframe predicts less of a propensity for an accident, all other factors excluded.  Some of these aviation industry stakeholders measure pilot proficiency solely by using time flown within the past 90, 60, or even 30 days, not accounting for extensive research showing aeronautical decision-making and situational awareness training decrease the likelihood of a …
