Book Description
Like ocean beaches, sheltered coastal areas experience land loss from erosion and sea level rise. In response, property owners often install hard structures such as bulkheads as a way to prevent further erosion, but these structures cause changes in the coastal environment that alter landscapes, reduce public access and recreational opportunities, diminish natural habitats, and harm species that depend on these habitats for shelter and food. Mitigating Shore Erosion Along Sheltered Coasts recommends coastal planning efforts and permitting policies to encourage landowners to use erosion control alternatives that help retain the natural features of coastal shorelines.

Rock Piles and Field Clearing Practices on Historic Farms and Pastures in Northeastern United States
Author: James E. Gage
Publisher: Powwow River Books
ISBN: 1733805737
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
It is hard to imagine that the most controversial subject in 21st century northeastern archaeology concerns rock piles found on historic farm lands. Yet, rock piles are at the heart of a contentious debate about their cultural affiliation, purpose, and age. Are they agricultural field clearing piles or Indigenous ceremonial features? The short answer is some are the byproduct agricultural activities while others were intentionally built as an expression of Indigenous spiritual beliefs. How do we distinguish between the two? In order to answer that question, it is necessary to have a solid historical and scientific understanding of field clearing practices in northeastern United States. Using farm manuals and 19th century agricultural journals, this book delves into the surprisingly complex topic of stone removal and disposal practices on farms in northeastern United States and beyond. It establishes some basic criteria for identifying clearing piles. Groups of Indigenous stone features including rock piles / cairns have survived on unfarmed lands and old pastures. They have largely been misidentified as field clearing piles and attributed to efforts to improve soil quality. However, new research shows that permanent pastures were rarely, if ever, cleared of stones. 19th century farmers had a solid understanding of why their pastures were being degraded and the solutions they needed to fix them. None of those solutions involved stone removal. This book draws together in a single volume over a decade of intensive research into an obscure but critically important topic in historic archaeology. Agricultural field clearing features are not considered archaeological significant. Ceremonial landscapes (traditional cultural properties) are considered culturally sensitive sites. Distinguishing between the two is an important task.

Structural Geomorphology in Northeastern Brazil
Author: Rubson Maia
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030133117
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 119
Book Description
This book presents the characteristics and limitations of geological units, Cenozoic and geochronological concepts. It studies landscape aspects developed from research in areas with proved Cenozoic tectonic activity, such as the Potiguar basin, located between the states of Ceara and Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. The analytical focus involves the relationship between tectonics and landscapes in different scales, in hills or karsts, or regional, in basins, and massifs.
