Living with the Puerto Rico Shore
Author: David M. Bush
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 0822315904
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
In this, the eighteenth title in Duke University Press's Living With the Shore series, the authors present a "user's guide" to the coastal zone of Puerto Rico. Presenting a geological appraisal of the history, dynamics, and hazards of the island's coastline, Living With the Puerto Rico Shore is the first in the series to examine a tropical region and the first to examine an area outside the continental United States. The book provides detailed descriptions of the entire shoreline, noting the specific coastal hazards of each coastal reach. These hazards include coastal erosion, storm surge flooding, and potential damage from earthquakes. Where high-density development or significant roads and utilities are particularly at risk, these are also noted. The effects that sand mining, seawalls, jetties, and other attempts at coastal engineering have had on the island are examined. Finally, the authors discuss historical and legal aspects of coastal planning in Puerto Rico, presenting guidelines for selecting building sites. Of interest to all concerned with protecting our shores and beaches and useful to the coastal planner and manager, Living With the Puerto Rico Shore contains an extensive bibliography and a list of agencies involved in coastal issues.

The Blackhawk Landslide
Author: Ronald L. Shreve
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
"Blackhawk Mountain in southern California rises above southeastern Lucerne Valley at the eastern end of the rugged 4,000-foot escarpment that separates the San Bernardino Mountains on the south from the Mojave Desert on the north. Its summit is a resistant block of marble thrust northward over easily eroded uncemented sandstone and weathered gneiss. Spread out on the alluvial apron at the foot of the mountain is the prehistoric Blackhawk landslide, a lobe of nearly monolithologic marble breccia from 30 to 100 feet thick, 2 miles wide, and 5 miles long."--
