Book Description
Coasts is about the processes that shape beaches, deltas, reefs, marshes, mudflats and other coastal landforms. It brings together studies that look at sediment movement, with longer-term evolution of the coast determined from coring and dating coastal sediments. It provides well-referenced and up-to-date material for undergraduates and postgraduates studying coastal environments. It will also appeal to environmental scientists, coastal geologists, coastal managers and planners. The book contains an extensive reference section, and numerous halftone illustrations of landform examples from around the world.

Product Description
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 coasts over thousands of years. Numerous examples from around the world 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.
