Book National Assessment of Shoreline Change Part 1

Download or read book National Assessment of Shoreline Change Part 1 written by Robert A. Morton and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2008-07 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beach erosion is a chronic problem along open-ocean shores of the U.S. As coastal populations continue to grow and community infrastructures are threatened by erosion, there is increased demand for accurate info. regarding past and present trends and rates of shoreline movement, and a need for a comprehensive analysis of shoreline movement. This report on states bordering the Gulf of Mexico (Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas) summarizes the methods of analysis, interprets the results, provides explanations regarding the historical and present trends and rates of change, and describes how different coastal communities are responding to coastal erosion in 2004 (prior to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita). Illustrations.

Book The Beaches Are Moving

Download or read book The Beaches Are Moving written by Wallace Kaufman and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1984-01-13 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our beaches are eroding, sinking, washing out right under our houses, hotels, bridges; vacation dreamlands become nightmare scenes of futile revetments, fills, groins, what have you—all thrown up in a frantic defense against the natural system. The romantic desire to live on the seashore is in doomed conflict with an age-old pattern of beach migration. Yet it need not be so. Conservationist Wallace Kaufman teams up with marine geologist Orrin H. Pilkey Jr., in an evaluation of America's beaches from coast to coast, giving sound advice on how to judge a safe beach development from a dangerous one and how to live at the shore sensibly and safely.

Book Understanding the Long Term Evolution of the Coupled Natural Human Coastal System

Download or read book Understanding the Long Term Evolution of the Coupled Natural Human Coastal System written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-10-17 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Gulf Coast provides a valuable setting to study deeply connected natural and human interactions and feedbacks that have led to a complex, interconnected coastal system. The physical landscape in the region has changed significantly due to broad-scale, long-term processes such as coastal subsidence and river sediment deposition as well as short-term episodic events such as hurricanes. Modifications from human activities, including building levees and canals and constructing buildings and roads, have left their own imprint on the natural landscape. This coupled natural-human coastal system and the individual aspects within it (physical, ecological, and human) are under increased pressure from accelerating environmental stressors such as sea level rise, intensifying hurricanes, and continued population increase with its accompanying coastal development. Promoting the resilience and maintaining the habitability of the Gulf Coast into the future will need improved understanding of the coupled natural-human coastal system, as well as effective sharing of this understanding in support of decision-making and policies. Understanding the Long-term Evolution of the Coupled Natural-Human Coastal System presents a research agenda meant to enable a better understanding of the multiple and interconnected factors that influence long-term processes along the Gulf Coast. This report identifies scientific and technical gaps in understanding the interactions and feedbacks between human and natural processes, defines essential components of a research and development program in response to the identified gaps, and develops priorities for critical areas of research.

Book Photointerpretation of Shoreline Changes in Selected Areas Along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of the United States

Download or read book Photointerpretation of Shoreline Changes in Selected Areas Along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of the United States written by Mohamed Taha El-Ashry and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before planning shore protection in a given area, it is necessary to know the changes that took place in the past few years and to determine the quantity of sediment eroded or added to the beaches. The use of quantitative marine geology in connection with the analysis of shoreline development is being slowly accomplished by many individuals through isolated studies of beaches, cliffs, deltas, and estuaries, but has only lately been attempted for whole regions. It is the purpose of this study to report recent shoreline changes in three states using sequential aerial photography and to compare them with earlier changes (as early as 1859) using nautical charts and topographic maps. The causes of such changes are discussed and correlated with storms and prevailing physical conditions.
