Download or read book Saving America's Beaches written by Scott L. Douglass and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2002 with total page 114 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 OC works of manOCO 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: OC backing offOCO, OC bypassing sandOCO, and OC beach nourishmentOCO. 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: Sandy beaches represent some of the most dynamic environments on Earth and examining their morphodynamic behaviour over different temporal and spatial scales is challenging, relying on multidisciplinary approaches and techniques. Sandy Beach Morphodynamics brings together the latest research on beach systems and their morphodynamics and the ways in which they are studied in 29 chapters that review the full spectrum of beach morphodynamics. The chapters are written by leading experts in the field and provide introductory level understanding of physical processes and resulting landforms, along with more advanced discussions. Includes chapters that are written by the world's leading experts, including the latest up-to-date thinking on a variety of subject areas Covers state-of-the-art techniques, bringing the reader the latest technologies/methods being used to understand beach systems Presents a clear-and-concise description of processes and techniques that enables a clear understanding of coastal processes

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long-term beach and offshore sand movement along the northern California coast between Drakes Bay and Russian River is studied. Analysis of wave, sand and geological data, coupled with known configurations and behavioral processes of stable beaches, suggests little net alongshore movement under present conditions and that beaches are generally in equilibrium with negligible loss. This analysis is confirmed through heavy mineral analysis of surface samples. Point Reyes and Bodega Head are indicated to be effective littoral barriers to alongshore transport. (Author).

Download or read book Sand Movement in Relation to Beach Topography written by David Samuel Macarthur and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracer experiments were conducted on the Gulf Coast beach of Hurricane Island, Florida, to obtain information on sediment transfer between foreshore, trough, and bar topography. Concurrent measurements of waves and currents were collected. Along-shore transport of tracer released in the three topographic zones was greater than normal-to-shore movement, even when the angle between wave crests and the shoreline was small. Seaward movement of tracer placed in the trough and bar zones took place during alongshore transport only when waves broke on the bar, and was most marked when wave steepness had a value near 0.04. During these conditions tracer released in the trough moved onto and along the bar crest. At other times landward displacement of bar and trough tracer accompanied alongshore transport. Tracer placed on the bar moved into the trough. Only when a subaqueous shoal replaced the trough immediately seaward of the beach step did appreciable amounts of tracer seaward from the foreshore. Rhythmic topography appears, therefore, to provide an important mechanism for onshore-offshore movement of sediment within a beach system. Transport of tracer from the trough and bar onto the foreshore was negligible over all experiments.

Download or read book A Field Study of Tide-induced Sand Movement on Del Monte Beach, California written by Glen E. Eubanks and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beach-elevation measurements were made and sand samples were collected daily along a profile extending from the back of the beach out to a water depth of approximately 23 feet. Wave and tide data were measured continuously at the site. The beach is well sheltered, and low swell parallel to the beach predominates. Offshore-onshore movement of the plunge point by the tides exerts a large influence on the textural parameters which move on and off shore with the moving plunge point. The magnitude of textural parameter values increases with decreasing wave steepness. It appears that transport of large sand grains by wave and tide action produces the observed textural patterns. Profile changes are greatest during mid-tide stages when the water level and position of the plunge point are changing rapidly. (Author).
