Book excerpt: Many Researchers have made their attempts to study on different aspects like erosional and depositional environments, energy conditions and grain size statistics to understand the sedimentary processes along the world beaches (Shepard and Young, 1960; Friedman, 1967; Visher, 1969; Passega and Byramjee, 1969; Sonu, 1972; Passega, 1977; Komar, 1977; Nordstrom, 1977; Stapor and May, 1983; Wright and Short, 1984; Mc Laren and Bowles, 1985; Dubois, 1988; Pye and Neal, 1994 and Ngusaru, 1995). Coastal placer mineral concentration and their occurrences along the world beaches are reported by May (1973), Woolsey et al., (1975), Mitra and Ahmad (1990), Frihy and Dewidar (1993) and Mitra and Ahmad (1995).

Book excerpt: Sandy beaches represent some of the most dynamic environments on Earth and examining their morphodynamic behaviour over different temporal and spatial scales is challenging, relying on multidisciplinary approaches and techniques. Sandy Beach Morphodynamics brings together the latest research on beach systems and their morphodynamics and the ways in which they are studied in 29 chapters that review the full spectrum of beach morphodynamics. The chapters are written by leading experts in the field and provide introductory level understanding of physical processes and resulting landforms, along with more advanced discussions. Includes chapters that are written by the world's leading experts, including the latest up-to-date thinking on a variety of subject areas Covers state-of-the-art techniques, bringing the reader the latest technologies/methods being used to understand beach systems Presents a clear-and-concise description of processes and techniques that enables a clear understanding of coastal processes

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Process-based morphodynamic modelling is one of the relatively new tools at the disposal of coastal scientists, engineers and managers. On paper, it offers the possibility to analyse morphological processes and to investigate the effects of various measures one might consider to alleviate some problems. For these to be applied in practice, a model should be relatively straightforward to set up. It should be accurate enough to represent the details of interest, it should run long enough and robustly to see the real effects happen, and the physical processes represented in such a way that the sediment generally goes in the right direction at the right rate. Next, practitioners must be able to judge if the patterns and outcomes of the model are realistic and finally, translate these colour pictures and vector plots to integrated parameters that are relevant to the client or end user. In a nutshell, this book provides an in-depth review of ways to model coastal processes, including many hands-on exercises.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of estuaries and coasts has seen enormous growth in recent years, since changes in these areas have a large effect on the food chain, as well as on the physics and chemistry of the ocean. As the coasts and river banks around the world become more densely populated, the pressure on these ecosystems intensifies, putting a new focus on environmental, socio-economic and policy issues. Written by a team of international expert scientists, under the guidance of Chief Editors Eric Wolanski and Donald McClusky, the Treatise on Estuarine and Coastal Science, Ten Volume Set examines topics in depth, and aims to provide a comprehensive scientific resource for all professionals and students in the area of estuarine and coastal science Most up-to-date reference for system-based coastal and estuarine science and management, from the inland watershed to the ocean shelf Chief editors have assembled a world-class team of volume editors and contributing authors Approach focuses on the physical, biological, chemistry, ecosystem, human, ecological and economics processes, to show how to best use multidisciplinary science to ensure earth's sustainability Provides a comprehensive scientific resource for all professionals and students in the area of estuarine and coastal science Features up-to-date chapters covering a full range of topics

Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study is to determine the Federal interest in participating in the cost of placing suitable material from Thimble Shoal Channel and/or Atlantic Ocean Channel ... on the beach at Sandbridge in Virginia Beach rather than depositing it in an offshore disposal area. The evaluation report will consider only that material to be provided from the 55-foot-deep outbound channel which is part of the Norfolk Harbor and Channels, Virginia, project."--Page 1.
