Accessibility of geotechnical earthquake Engineering data and the need for data storage and dissemination standards Accessibility of geotechnical earthquake Engineering data and the need for data storage and dissemination standards
Ease of data access and data standards are two issues critical to the success of GIS technology when applied to earthquake hazards research problems that require geotechnical engineering and related data. Efforts to reduce data accession costs and to streamline the data exchange process will result in short-term cost and time saving and will add long-term value to the data sets...

Annual and Spatial Variation of the Kelp Forest Fish Assemblage at San Nicolas Island, California Annual and Spatial Variation of the Kelp Forest Fish Assemblage at San Nicolas Island, California
The kelp forest fishes of San Nicolas Island, California were studied from 1981-1986 to examine the causes of among-site and among-year variation in the fish assemblages. Fish counts and seven physical and biological variables were recorded at six sites around the island every spring and fall. Over the study period, a total of 45 fish species from 18 families were recorded, though...

Assessment and prediction of debris-flow hazards Assessment and prediction of debris-flow hazards
Study of debris-flow geomorphology and initiation mechanism has led to better understanding of debris-flow processes. This paper reviews how this understanding is used in current techniques for assessment and prediction of debris-flow hazards.

Breakpoint-forced and bound long waves in the nearshore: A model comparison Breakpoint-forced and bound long waves in the nearshore: A model comparison
A finite-difference model is used to compare long wave amplitudes arising from two-group forced generation mechanisms in the nearshore: long waves generated at a time-varying breakpoint and the shallow-water extension of the bound long wave. Plane beach results demonstrate that the strong frequency selection in the outgoing wave predicted by the breakpoint-forcing mechanism may not be...
