Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new edition of a unique textbook that provides an exhaustive treatment of the world's different coasts—with focus on climate change sea-level rise Coastlines of the world are as diverse and complex as any geological setting on Earth, and understanding them is extremely important. Beaches and Coasts, Second Edition is an exciting and unique textbook that covers the world’s different coasts and details the highly varied processes that have shaped them. This new edition emphasizes the future susceptibility of coast to climate driven stresses and decreasing sediment supplies, and considers various aspects of coastal management that are and/or that need to be undertaken. Seeking to better educate students and readers about the sustainability of coast and coastal environments, this exciting and unique book offers enlightening coverage of: the Earth’s mobile crust; sediments of coastal environments; impacts of sea level change; weather systems and the effects of storms; the influence of wave energy and different tidal regimes; river deltas; coastal bays; estuaries and lagoons; tidal flats; coastal wetlands; beach and nearshore areas; coastal barriers; tidal inlets; glaciated coasts; and rocky coasts. Takes an extensive look at the world's varied coasts and covers the many processes that have shaped them over time Shows how coastal processes and landform evolution are expected to be impacted by climate change Includes new coverage of Hurricane Katrina and the 2005 flooding of New Orleans, Hurricane Sandy and its affect on New York and the earthquake and tsunami in the Indian Ocean and Tohoku Lavishly illustrated with over 400 color photographs and figures Draws on a wealth of author experience that broadens the content of chapters and provides for numerous and varied examples Beaches and Coasts, Second Edition is an excellent text for undergraduate and graduate students of coastal geology, coastal processes and coastal environments.

Download or read book The Beach Book written by Carl Heywood Hobbs and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waves and tides, wind and storms, sea-level rise and shore erosion: these are the forces that shape our beaches, and beach lovers of all stripes can benefit from learning more about how these coastal processes work. With animation and clarity, The Beach Book tells sunbathers why beaches widen and narrow, and helps boaters and anglers understand why tidal inlets migrate. It gives home buyers insight into erosion rates and provides natural-resource managers and interested citizens with rich information on beach nourishment and coastal-zone development. And for all of us concerned about the long-term health of our beaches, it outlines the latest scientific information on sea-level rise and introduces ways to combat not only the erosion of beaches but also the decline of other coastal habitats. The more we learn about coastline formation and maintenance, Carl Hobbs argues, the better we can appreciate and cultivate our shores. Informed by the latest research and infused with a passion for its subject, The Beach Book provides a wide-ranging introduction to the shore, and all of us who love the beach and its associated environments will find it timely and useful.

Download or read book Offset Coastal Inlets. Forms of Sediment Accumulation in the Beach Zone written by Miles O. Hayes and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offset coastal inlets are common on the coasts of New England and the northern Gulf of Alaska. In both areas, the dominant waves approach the shore at an oblique angle, resulting in a strong net littoral drift. The most common type of offset on these coasts is a downdrift offset (i.e., the downdrift side of the inlet protrudes further seaward than the updrift side). Wave refraction around the ebb-tidal deltas at the inlets is an important process in the formation of the downdrift offsets, inasmuch as it creates a local reversal in drift direction just downdrift of the inlet, and allows sediment to accumulate there. Forms of sediment accumulation in the beach zone include ridge-and-runnel systems, berms, a multiplicity of types of nearshore bars, cusp-type sand waves (or rhythmic topography), complex sand bodies affiliated with ebb-tidal deltas, and an ordered system of minor features (bedforms) that correlate with flow-regime conditions. Most sand beaches undergo a simple cycle of erosion and deposition in response to the passage of coastal storms. (Author).
