Coastal Geomorphology

This volume addresses the need for an accessible and scientific approach to coastal processes. It introduces the principles of formation and considers methods of study, including field techniques, hardware modelling using wave tanks and computer simulation. It is structured around the coast as an interactive system, explaining how the interrelationships between features affect coastal characteristics and change. Each chapter considers space and time, process and response to explain how different characteristics develop. Students should find this a useful text, especially as it encourages the development of projects and databases.
