Coastal Heroes
Author: Miles O. Hayes
Publisher: Pandion Books
ISBN: 0981661823
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
The major purpose of this book is to present the significant aspects of how coastlines evolve, stressing some original ideas regarding the origin and morphology of the coastlines of the world that my students, co-workers, and I have made over the years. Our chosen profession is coastal geo-morphology, or, as some prefer to say, coastal geology. Also, with most of the ideas or projects presented in the different chapters, side stories are told to present the history of their development, as well as an introduction to the reader of the diverse and unforgettable people - scientists, students, and otherwise - involved. I have been lucky enough to experience a scientific career that has lasted over 50 years, involving field projects on all the major continents except Australia. I also have conducted studies near the magnetic north pole and the south pole, and along the entire coastline of Alaska. In addition to those areas, most of the shoreline of the Arabian Peninsula, the coast of West Africa, and many other areas (in 42 countries and still counting) have been investigated.

Estuarine Research
Author: L Cronin
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0323142702
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 753
Book Description
Chemistry, Biology, and the Estuarine System is the first volume of a series launched by Estuarine Research Foundation to present information and concepts regarding the estuaries in the world. The contents of this volume are papers presented in a conference held in South Carolina in October 1973. The book is divided into three major subject areas, namely, Chemistry, Biology, and Estuarine System. The first part focuses on the cycling of elements and estuaries. The second part deals with the dynamics of the food webs in various estuaries. The last section discusses the estuarine system, specifically estuarine modeling. In this part, several estuarine models in different locations are explored. Model analysis as well as utility of systems models is covered in this section. This volume serves as a valuable source of information to interested parties in the field of ecology, biology, chemistry, environmental science, etc.

Holocene Marine Sedimentation in the North Sea Basin
Author: S. D. Nio
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1444303767
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 525
Book Description
A special publication of the International Association of Sedimentologists This comprehensive scientific book of more than 500 pages features chapters by various authors. Holocene Marine Sedimentation in the North Sea Basin address topics that include: ripple, megaripple and sandwave bedforms in South Wales; shoreline development in St Andrews Bay, Scotland; and the origin of ridges off the Zeeland coast. Highlighted research includes: measurements of suspended sediment concentrations made at stations on a sandy intertidal zone in South Wales, as well as another study of two cores from the southern side of the Norwegian Channel concerning geotechnical properties, texture, sedimentary structures and mineralogical composition.

Coastal Sedimentary Environments
Author: R.A. Jr. Davis
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461250781
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 692
Book Description
The zone where land and sea meet is composed of a variety of complex environments. The coastal areas of the world contain a large percentage of its population and are therefore of extreme economic importance. Industrial, residential, and recreational developments, as well as large urban complexes, occupy much of the coastal margin of most highly developed countries. Undoubtedly future expansion in many undeveloped maritime countries will also be concentrated on coastal areas. Accompanying our occupation of coasts in this age of technology is a dependence on coastal environments for transportation, food, water, defense, and recreation. In order to utilize the coastal zone to its capacity, and yet not plunder its resources, we must have extensive knowledge of the complex environments contained along the coasts. The many environments within the coastal zone include bays, estuaries, deltas, marshes, dunes, and beaches. A tremendously broad range of conditions is represented by these environments. Salinity may range from essentially fresh water in estuaries, such as along the east coast of the United States, to extreme hypersaline lagoons, such as Laguna Madre in Texas. Coastal environments may be in excess of a hundred meters deep (fjords) or may extend several meters above sea level in the form of dunes. Some coastal environments are well protected and are not subjected to high physical energy except for occasional storms, whereas beaches and tidal inlets are continuously modified by waves and currents.
