Coastal dunes : form and process / edited by Karl Nordstrom, Norbert Psuty and Bill Carter
Tipo de material: TextoSeries Coastal morphology and researchDetalles de publicación: Chichester : John Wiley & Sons, 1990 Descripción: XI, 392 p. ; 24 cmISBN: 0-471-91842-3Tema(s): Costas -- Morfología | Litoral -- Modificaciones | GeomorfologíaResumen: This book deals with the formation and establishment of coastal dunes--considering both forms and processes in a wide variety of environments. These landforms are among the most sensitive to environmental change, yet they provide extensive protection against both short-term erosion and flooding and long-term sea-level rise. Until now, there has not been any major book to deal specifically with coastal dunes. The current volume surveys a range of dune features, such as the ephemeral characteristics in the rapidly subsiding Mississippi delta, the extensive sand sheets of Australia and South Africa and the Holocene dunes of Western Europe and North America. This book will provide essential background information for ecological and management studies of coastal dunes. It will be of immense value to geomorphologists, ecologists and other environmental scientists who work on the management of coastal dunes.Tipo de ítem | Biblioteca de origen | Signatura | URL | Estado | Fecha de vencimiento | Código de barras | Reserva de ítems |
