| Abstract | Written for anyone interested in coastal geomorphology, this is the complete guide to the processes at work on our coastlines and the resulting features seen in coastal systems across the world. Accessible to students from a range of disciplines, the quantitative approach of this book helps to build a solid understanding of wave and current processes that shape coastlines. From sandy beaches to coral reefs, the major coastal features are related to contemporary processes and to sea-level changes over the past 25,000 years. Key equations describing these processes and standard methods and instrumentation used to collect measurements are all presented in this wide-ranging overview. Designed to support a one- or two-semester course and grounded in current research, this second edition has been substantially updated and rewritten - featuring cutting-edge new topics, insights from new models and technologies, additional global examples and an enhanced package of online teaching materials.
Accessible to students from a range of disciplines, the book offers a wide-ranging overview of the subject in a clear manner
The new edition is more comprehensive, with the additional insight and expertise of co-authors Bernard Bauer and Chris Houser
Provides a basic foundation for understanding coastal processes and points students to recent publications in each area of interest |
