    Assessing Coastal Blue Carbon Sinks in Taiwan

    by Hsing-Juh Lin *, Kuan-Yu Chen , Yu-Chen Kao , Wei-Jen Lin , Chiao-Wen Lin and Chuan-Wen Ho

    Abstract

    Maintaining and enhancing blue carbon sinks have become an emerging priority to mitigate climate change. This study aims to assess the carbon sinks of coastal blue carbon ecosystems in Taiwan by collecting published journal papers, grey literature, and research reports to inventory the carbon sequestration and stock of the major coastal blue carbon ecosystems, including mangroves, seagrass beds, and salt marshes. The total area of salt marshes in Taiwan is 188 ha, of which the exotic species Spa...

    Oceanic Blue Carbon in Seas around Taiwan

    by Hsueh-Han Hsieh , Yung-Yen Shih , Syun-Han Wu , Hernando P. Bacosa and Chin-Chang Hung *

    Abstract

    In order to mitigate the impacts of climate change, achieving carbon neutrality has become paramount. Previously, the estimation of negative carbon emissions was primarily focused on green carbon and yellow carbon. However, the oceans constitute one of the major global carbon pools, absorbing approximately 25-30% of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Taiwan is committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, and the contribution of carbon absorption by the surrounding water cannot ...

    Introduction of Blue Carbon Management

    by Stefanny Rebeca Alvarado and Hsiao-Chun Tseng *

    Abstract

    Climate change presents one of the most pressing global challenges, impacting diverse life forms across the planet. As anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, it becomes increasingly urgent to explore effective strategies to mitigate climate change's adverse effects. Among these strategies, carbon sequestration plays a crucial role, particularly in coastal and marine ecosystems that can capture and store substantial amounts of carbon. Carbon sequestration encompasses three prima...

    Using the IPO Model to Develop a Competency Standard for Remotely Operated Vehicle Supervisors

    by Pei-Chi Chang *, Fu-Man Hsieh and Chian-Chi Huang

    Abstract

    Operations in the marine environment can be challenging. To mitigate potential hazards, substituting manual labor with a remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) has progressively emerged as a prevailing trend in maritime operations. ROVs have applications in marine industry sectors such as underwater search and surveys, marine ecological investigations, vessel inspections, underwater pipeline and cable installations, and other maritime engineering endeavors. Within the country, there have been extensi...

    Numerical Study on the Evolution of Internal and Surface Waves Propagating over a Permeable Trapezoidal Obstacle

    by Ming-Hung Cheng *, Chih-Min Hsieh and Robert R. Hwang

    Abstract

    Although interesting phenomena associated with the interactions between internal waves (IWs) and surface waves (SWs) over impermeable submerged obstacles have been observed in laboratory experiments and numerical models, less research has explored the effects of permeable beds on wave evolution. In this study, we employed a numerical model to solve the Navier-Stokes equations using the Improved Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation (IDDES) model for turbulence closure, investigating the evolution of ...
