Book excerpt: The major purpose of this book is to present the significant aspects of how coastlines evolve, stressing some original ideas regarding the origin and morphology of the coastlines of the world that my students, co-workers, and I have made over the years. Our chosen profession is coastal geo-morphology, or, as some prefer to say, coastal geology. Also, with most of the ideas or projects presented in the different chapters, side stories are told to present the history of their development, as well as an introduction to the reader of the diverse and unforgettable people - scientists, students, and otherwise - involved. I have been lucky enough to experience a scientific career that has lasted over 50 years, involving field projects on all the major continents except Australia. I also have conducted studies near the magnetic north pole and the south pole, and along the entire coastline of Alaska. In addition to those areas, most of the shoreline of the Arabian Peninsula, the coast of West Africa, and many other areas (in 42 countries and still counting) have been investigated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and dis seminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the ac tivity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volume were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 23 (thesis year 1978) a total of 10,148 theses titles from 27 Canadian and 220 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for theses titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 23 reports these submitted in 1978, on occasion, certain universities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The net longshore transport of sand along Bolivar Peninsula and Galveston Island during 1975 was toward the southwest at rates that varied from 1.52 x 10 5 yds3/yr at Sea Isle on Galveston Island to 5.4 x 10 4 yds3/yr at Gilchrist on Bolivar Peninsula. Net longshore transport was toward the southwest during months of fall, winter and spring and generally toward the northeast only during three months of summer. An excellent correlation exists between the longshore transport direction and several factors including the frequency of the observed wave approach, speed and direction of the longshore current and the wind direction and velocity. Fluorescent sediment tracer studies revealed that a significant portion of the longshore transport showed a tendency to move parallel to the shoreline or offshore toward the breaker zone under most surf conditions. The seaward transport of sand in the surf zone was characteristically along paths nearly parallel to the angle of wave approach until reaching the breaker zone. Transport parallel to the shore at a significant distance shoreward of the primary breaker zone was usually attributed to entrainment in moderate- to high-velocity longshore currents, transport on the crests of bars or channelized flow in the runnels. Sediment tracer analyses conducted along the north and south jetties revealed that transport along these structures was controlled primarily by wind direction, wave action and the strength and direction of the prevailing tidal currents. Strong northerly winds create intense wave action which vigorously churns the sediments and batters the north jetty. Enhanced ebb-tidal currents transport the sandy sediments seaward along the jetty, through the small boat passage into the outer bar channel and ultimately around the seaward extremity of the jetty.
