Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California experienced significant coastal damage during the winter of January and February 1978. A combination of high astronomical tides, strong onshore winds, high storm waves, and excessive rainfall produced an aggravated erosional condition. This report documents the causes and results of the dynamic conditions which led to the storm damage along the California coastline. Also included, as an appendix, is a section of a report by the California Coastal Commission summarizing the cost analysis of damage along coastal California. (Author).
Book Synopsis Living with the Changing California Coast by : Gary B. Griggs
Download or read book Living with the Changing California Coast written by Gary B. Griggs and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The goal of The Changing California Coast is to provide perspective on the realities of living on the California coast, its challenges and issues, and the nitty gritty of what to consider before buying or building a house. The book achieves this aim by providing a tutorial on the potential hazards of coastal living, and systematically covering the coast from border to border. A must read for anyone whose idea of the coast is based on too many episodes of Baywatch."--Paul D. Komar, author of Beach Processes and Sedimentation "California's coast is a living landscape endlessly besieged by waves and tides, upland erosion, seismic forces, and human efforts to secure land's edge in place. A geography of awesome beauty and constant conflict, the coast is where people want to be. Living with the Changing California Coast is a must read for property owners, developers, investors, public officials, and activists who care about our coast's future. This book lays out the consequences of our tendency to wall up the coast and what we might do to reverse the trend. A most thorough, alarming and compelling tale of what is happening to our shoreline. Will policy makers listen?"--Peter Douglas, Executive Director of the California Coastal Commission

Download or read book California Catastrophes written by Gary Griggs and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-09-24 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "California is the most populous state in the nation and has attracted immigrants since the gold rush in 1848, whether by accident or intention. Although California also has more natural hazards per square mile than any other state as a result of straddling a plate boundary and because of its geologic adolescence, this hasn't deterred others from moving here. In addition to active faults and earthquakes, the state has a myriad of other natural hazards that frequently wreak havoc on the state and its residents, whether floods, landslides and debris flows, sea-level rise and coastal erosion, an occasional tsunami, and now we have climate change with its more frequent droughts and wildland fires, and more concentrated winter rainfall. This book is about the state's vulnerability to natural hazards, why and where we have these events, what has happened in the past and what we can anticipate in the future. And no place in the state is far from one natural hazard or another. Most Californians have an innate interest in these events and not many years goes by without a catastrophe of one sort or another, which can affect entire towns or regions. California Catastrophes is the only book focused on the natural disaster history of the state"--

This book was released on 2002-08-08 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells you where beach sand comes from, how waves are formed and how they break and move sand down the coast, how “works of man” have blocked this movement and caused beach erosion, and what can be done to save the beaches for future generations of Americans. A three-part prescription for healthy beaches is proposed: “backing off”, “bypassing sand”, and “beach nourishment”. So if you love waves and beaches, and care about the future of your favorite beach spot, then read this book while you enjoy the beach.

Book excerpt: A comprehensive introduction to coastal storms and their associated impacts Coastal Storms offers students and professionals in the field a comprehensive overview and groundbreaking text that is specifically devoted to the analysis of coastal storms. Based on the most recent knowledge and contributions from leading researchers, the text examines coastal storms’ processes and characteristics, the main hazards (such as overwash, inundation and flooding, erosion, structures overtopping), and how to monitor and model storms. The authors include information on the most advanced innovations in forecasting, prediction, and early warning, which serves as a foundation for accurate risk evaluation and developing adequate coastal indicators and management options. In addition, structural overtopping and damage are explained, taking into account the involved hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes. The monitoring methods of coastal storms are analyzed based on recent results from research projects in Europe and the United States. Methods for vulnerability and risk evaluation are detailed, storm impact indicators are suggested for different hazards and coastal management procedures analyzed. This important resource includes: Comprehensive coverage of storms and associated impacts, including meteorological coastal storm definitions and related potential consequences A state-of-the-art reference for advanced students, professionals and researchers in the field Chapters on monitoring methods of coastal storms, their prediction, early warning systems, and modeling of consequences Explorations of methods for vulnerability and risk evaluation and suggestions for storm impact indicators for different hazards and coastal management procedures Coastal Storms is a compilation of scientific and policy-related knowledge related to climate-related extreme events. The authors are internationally recognized experts and their work reflects the most recent science and policy advances in the field.
