Dolos: Credit for invention, Construction & Origin of name
A dolos (plural: dolosse) is a wave-dissipating concrete block used in great numbers as a form of coastal management. It is a type of tetrapod. Weighing up to 8 tonnes (8.8 short tons), dolosse are used to build revetments for protection against the erosive force of waves from a body of water. The dolos was invented in 1963, and was first deployed in…

Connections between topic areas Semantic bridges
Semantic bridges connect parts of the graph that would otherwise be more separate. A bridge is a structural signal in this analysis, not a claim that the two topic areas are equivalent.
For Dolos, one of the stronger structural bridges in this analysis connects Dolos with Overview. Bridges highlight paths between different parts of the map and can reveal research angles that are easy to miss in a flat list.
