Fruitful Research

At the suggestion of the late Professor Boris A. Bakhmeteff, the Council on Wave Research was formed in 1950 under the Engineering Foundation. At intervals thereafter the Council has co-sponsored with various societies, universities, and governmental agencies throughout the world several international conferences on coastal engineering. The purpose of these conferences has been to bring together both engineers and scientists of many disciples for an exchange of information and thereby delineate fruitful research areas in the general field of coastal engineering. In 1964 the Council on Wave Research transferred its activities to the American Society of Civil Engineers and became the Coastal Engineering Research Council. Thus, the Ninth Conference on Coastal Engineering was cosponsored by this new Council and the Laboratorio Nacional de Engenharia Civil in Lisbon, Portugal.

The Council on Wave Research of the Engineering Foundation was the sponsor of the first nine conferences on Coastal Engineering. This Council was abolished and was replaced in 1964 by the Coastal Engineering Research Council of the American Society of Civil Engineers. However, in spite of the change of name and affiliation there has been no discontinuity in either the activity of the Council or its management, which continues to function under the able guidance of the Secretary, Professor J. W. Johnson of the University of California, Berkeley.

The University

For the information of those attending their first Congress on Coastal Engineering, I should explain briefly the functions and organization of the Council on Wave Research. The first of these Congresses was held in Long Beach, California, in 1950 under the auspices of the University of California. There was at that time no permanent organization with the responsibility for focusing attention on this area of scientific and technical work or for arranging subsequent meetings. At the suggestion of the late Professor Boris A. Bakhmeteff, the Engineering Foundation, an agency of the American engineering societies, formed the Council on Wave Research to promote research in the sciences related to coastal engineering and to hold occasional congresses and conferences for the purpose of making the results of both scientific research and professional experience available to practicing engineers .

The 35th ICCE Conference took place in Antalya, over 17-20 November, 2016. We do believe that ICCE 2016 supported by the Turkish Chamber of Civil Engineers, organized under the auspices of the Coastal Engineering Research Council (CERC) of Coasts, Oceans, Ports and Rivers Institute (COPRI) of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), had a great impact nationally and globally, strengthened the bonds of knowledge in the field of Coastal Engineering, and reflected the colors of different cultures in addition to enriching the experience of young engineers and students. ICCE 2016, Istanbul was to be held in between 17-21 July, but was forced to be postponed to due to unpredictable events which took place in Turkey, beyond our control. During all these difficult times, we had no intention to yield under the pressure of these events. Therefore, we, the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) considered all viable alternatives, respecting the views of all parties involved, namely CERC, COPRI of ASCE, and the Turkish Chamber of Civil Engineers and the participants. We felt professionally and ethically committed to proceed regardless and to make ICCE happen. The LOC made the final decision about the new venue and date of the ICCE 2016. Accordingly, the postponed ICCE, 2016 was held in Mardan Palace Hotel, in Antalya over 17-20 November, 2016. We have to note that we do appreciate the support of the CERC and COPRI of ASCE during our journey from Istanbul to Antalya and COPRI secretary Prof. Dr. Patrick Lynett. We extend our gratitude to Antalya Metropolitan Municipality for their very valuable support and we are also thankful to our sponsors for their continuing valuable support. On the other hand, we duly noted and fully understood the hesitation of shown by some of the participants who could not attend the conference. From 26 different countries, 210 participants, including students and guests, attended the ICCE 2016, Antalya. Invited key note speakers, namely Prof. Dr. R. Dalrymple, Prof. Dr. M. Sumer, Prof. Dr. J. van der Meer, Prof. Dr. C. Synolakis, Prof. DR. S. Takahashi, who were also members of scientific committee and Prof. Dr. N.Kobayashi as chair of ICCE 2018, with their lectures in the opening ceremony and in the respective plenary sessions contributed significantly to the achievement of the goals and the success of the conference. The quality of the papers presented, the discussions in the sessions, and also the interaction between the participants contributed greatly to make the conference a success. The Early Career Scientist Event (ECSE) was planned within the ICCE 2016 to provide a specific time and place in the conference schedule where the early career attendees could meet with each other and discuss their research work in a comfortable and informal setting. The event was held on Thursday (November 17, 2016) after the conference sessions and around 50 young researchers attended the event. The resulting networking among the participants was very successful as the group was small, which enabled everyone to meet each other and all could talk about their experiences in detail. We have no doubt that this meeting was a valuable opportunity to be a part of the scientifically enriched environment of coastal engineering, not to mention items such as the historical beauties of magnificent Antalya and Turkish hospitality. On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee of ICCE 2016, we extend our special thanks to the Chamber of Turkish Civil Engineers ; Cemal Gokce (Chair), Aysegül Bildirici Suna (member) and Cem Oğuz (member), Antalya Branch of Chamber of Turkish Civil Engineers; Mustafa Balci (Chair) and finally Members of Technical Committee ; Yalcın Arisoy, Berna Burak Aydogan, Burak Aydogan, Cuneyt Baykal, Serdar Beji, Hulya K. Cihan, Yeşim Celikoglu, Mustafa Esen, H.Gokhan Guler, Anil A. Güler, Utku Kanolu, V.S. Ozgur Kırca, Dogan Kisacik, Bergüzar O. Ozbahçeci, Mehmet Ozturk, Ilgar Safak, Cihan Sahin, Gulizar O. Tarakcioğlu,Tugçe Yüksel, Last but not the least, we thank to Mayor of Antalya Metropolitan Municipality Menderes Turel for his interest and valuable support to the Conference. On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee of ICCE 2016 we had the pleasure and excitement of welcoming you in Antalya at ICCE 2016. The prestigious conference series will continue with ICCE 2018, Baltimore (USA) and ICCE 2020 Sidney, (Australia). With warm regards, Prof. Dr. Aysen Ergin (Chairperson) Prof. Yalcin Yüksel (Co -chair) Prof. Ahmet C. Yalciner ( Co-chair) Isikhan Güler (executive member) Esin Cevik (Executive member)

This book looks at an iconic decade when the cultural left and economic right came to the fore in American society and the world at large. While many have seen the 1970s as simply a period of failures epitomized by Watergate, inflation, the oil crisis, global unrest, and disillusionment with military efforts in Vietnam, this book creates a new framework for understanding the period and its legacy. It demonstrates how the 1970s increased social inclusiveness and, at the same time, encouraged commitments to the free market and wariness of government. As a result, American culture and much of the rest of the world became more—and less—equal. This book explores how the 1970s forged the contours of contemporary America. Military, political, and economic crises undercut citizens' confidence in government. Free market enthusiasm led to lower taxes, a volunteer army, individual 401(k) retirement plans, free agency in sports, deregulated airlines, and expansions in gambling and pornography. At the same time, the movement for civil rights grew, promoting changes for women, gays, immigrants, and the disabled. And developments were not limited to the United States. Many countries gave up colonial and racial hierarchies to develop a new formal commitment to human rights, while economic deregulation spread to other parts of the world, from Chile and the United Kingdom to China. Placing a tempestuous political culture within a global perspective, this book shows that the decade wrought irrevocable transformations upon American society and the broader world that continue to resonate today.

Water Index

<p>Teluk Prigi merupakan perairan di pesisir Samudera Hindia yang dikelilingi oleh bentang alam tebing yang tinggi sehingga wilayah pesisir yang memiliki kondisi dinamis dapat mengakibatkan terjadinya perubahan garis pantai apabila tidak dikelola dengan baik. Maka dari itu pada penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor oseanografi yang menyebabkan terjadinya perubahan garis pantai. Metode yang digunakan terdiri dari pemisahan arus, peramalan gelombang, gelombang pecah, energi gelombang dan refraksi gelombang dengan menggunakan metode menurut <em>Coastal Engineering Research Center </em>(CERC). Selain itu ekstraksi garis pantai dengan metode <em>NDWI (Normal Differential Water Index)</em>, dan analisis jenis sedimen menggunakan modul yang dikeluarkan oleh Pusjatan Balitbang PU. Faktor oseanografi yang dominan menjadi penyebab perubahan garis pantai adalah gelombang bangkitan angin yang pola gelombangnya mengalami perubahan arah yang cenderung tegak lurus pantai, selain itu arus pasang surut menjadi faktor pendukung dengan kecepatan 0,0037 m/s bergerak menuju Utara. Sehingga, kondisi garis pantai pada tahun 2003 dan 2014, 2014 dan 2018 luasan sedimentasi terbesar mencapai 28.949 m<sup>2</sup> dan 52.020 m<sup>2</sup> yang berada di Desa Prigi. Sedangkan Sedangkan lokasi abrasi pada tahun 2003 dan 2014, 2014 dan 2018 luasnya mencapai 4.204 m<sup>2</sup> dan 3.326 m<sup>2</sup>.</p>
