Coasts : form, process, and evolution

Book

Coasts : form, process, and evolution / Colin D. Woodroffe.

Summary:

"Coasts provides a necessary background in geomorphology for those studying coastal systems. It describes the landforms that occur on the coast, their responses to the processes that shape them and the pattern of evolution that can be determined for different types of coast over thousands of years. Numerous examples from around the world are used to illustrate the variety of environments. Particular attention is paid to coastal morphodynamics, the co-adjustment of process and form, on rocky, reef, sandy, deltaic-estuarine and muddy coasts." "This valuable text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students is clearly illustrated and contains an extensive reference section. It will also be of great interest to environmental scientists, geologists, planners and coastal managers."--Jacket.
