Proposal No: 1005627The objective of this project is to quantify the ecosystem services provided by trees on the seaward side of a levee to minimize wave overtopping. Since it is extremely difficult to conduct small-scale studies that correctly mimic the biomechanical properties of plants, it is necessary to approach this problem using prototype-scale testing with natural plants. The experiments will be conducted in the 104 m long Large Wave Flume (LWF) at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory at Oregon State University. Currently, the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory is contracted to conduct full-scale levee overtopping tests through funding from the Department of Homeland Security. The project runs from October 1 to December 11, 2009. After this date, the levee is scheduled to be demolished to make way for a wave energy test on January 11. Since the LWF is not committed for December 12- January 8, there is a narrow window of opportunity for performing the proposed research, leveraging the existing experiments supported by DHS. This project will serve as the Master?s Thesis for one graduate student, with involvement of 4 undergraduate students. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) will be involved in an advisory role for this project, and project outcomes will be provided to USACE to develop further collaborative projects on sustainable approaches to mitigating natural coastal hazards.Bruce HamiltonProgram DirectorEnvironmental Sustainability10/29/09

提案编号：1005627本项目的目标是量化堤坝向海一侧树木提供的生态系统服务，以最大限度地减少波浪漫顶。 由于进行正确模拟植物生物力学特性的小规模研究非常困难，因此有必要使用天然植物的原型规模测试来解决这个问题。 实验将在O.H.的104 m长的大型波浪水槽中进行。俄勒冈州州立大学欣斯代尔波浪研究实验室。 目前，O.H.欣斯代尔波浪研究实验室与国土安全部签订合同，由其提供资金进行全面的堤坝漫顶试验。 该项目将于2009年10月1日至12月11日进行。 在此日期之后，堤坝计划被拆除，为1月11日的波浪能测试让路。 由于LWF在12月12日至1月8日期间没有承诺，因此利用DHS支持的现有实验进行拟议研究的机会很小。 该项目将作为大师？一名研究生的论文，有4名本科生参与。 美国陆军工程兵部队（USACE）将参与该项目的咨询工作，并将向USACE提供项目成果，以进一步开发有关减轻自然沿海灾害的可持续方法的合作项目。布鲁斯汉密尔顿项目主管环境可持续性10/29/09
