New 3-D model predicts environmental impact of dredging operations in Spain.
The IH-Dredge model was created to study how dredging affects the environment at the Port of Marin, Spain. This model uses computer simulations to track changes in the seabed, sediment, and toxic substances during dredging operations. By comparing the model's predictions with real-world data, researchers confirmed its accuracy. The model can help predict and manage the environmental impact of dredging activities in the future.
