Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard A. Davis The zone where land and sea meet is composed of a variety of complex environ ments. 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 expan sion 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 environ ments 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beach profile data were collected at profile lines on Misquamicut Beach between November 1962 and June 1973. The data were examined for temporal and spatial patterns and variability along the beach face, as well as to identify and assess the forces which influence beach behavior. Misquamicut represents a typical barrier beach. It is sheltered from all directions except the south and southeast with wave climate modified by Fisher's Island, Long Island, and Block Island. Nearshore bathymetry and a submarine trough in Block Island Sound also modify the wave pattern and intensity. The focusing of energy varies depending on wave direction, but is generally most intense in the center of the beach. Regression analyses on above mean sea level volume versus time indicate a net accretional trend on the beach. There appears to be a seasonal pattern to erosion/accretion cycles on Misquamicut Beach. In general, erosion is accelerated from late autumn to early spring, principally as a result of winter storm events, while accretion occurs from late spring to early fall. However, nonseasonal storm events frequently interrupt and obscure this pattern. The beach responds in a similar manner to most storms regardless of the direction of the storm track. The average above mean sea level volume changes attributable to storms range from 5 to 10 cubic meters per meter of beach length, which is small in comparison to open ocean beaches (as those studied on Cape Cod) where changes were frequently on the order of 50 cubic meters per meter.
