DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe coastal environment, as defined in this classification, has the common attributes: (1) an atmospheric and marine fluid environment, and (2) an interacting coastal interface system. Each attribute was independently classified prior to the integration of the components into the Classification of Coastal Environments of the Americas. The atmospheric system was treated using the methodology of air mass climatology, and the marine environment was classified using water mass analysis with modifications appropriate to nearshore conditions. The classification of shoreline interfaces was developed by detailed analysis of coastal landforms. (Author).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCharacteristic modes of process interaction define coastal environments and have been identified for coastal areas of the Americas and Africa. The general methodology as applied to the United States East Coast is presented as a case study in order to demonstrate the nature of classification decisions and the use of alternate or secondary classification methodologies. Coastal segments elsewhere in the Americas are used for illustrative purposes for problems which could not be demonstrated on the East Coast. This report presents the classification design and methodology used in the along-the-coast analysis of the Americas and Africa. (Modified author abstract).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe coastal zone is one of the most dynamic environments on our planet and is much affected by global change, especially sea-level rise. Coastal environments harbour valuable ecosystems, but they are also hugely important from a societal point of view. This book, which draws on the expertise of 21 leading international coastal scientists, represents an up-to-date account of coastal environments and past, present and future impacts of global change. The first chapter of the book outlines key principles that underpin coastal systems and their behaviour. This is followed by a discussion of key processes, including sea level change, sedimentation, storms, waves and tides, that drive coastal change. The main part of the book consists of a discussion of the main coastal environments (beaches, dunes, barriers, salt marshes, tidal flats, estuaries, coral reefs, deltas, rocky and glaciated coasts and coastal groundwater), and how these are affected by global change. The final chapter highlights strategies for coping with coastal change. Readership: final year undergraduate and postgraduate-level students on coastal courses in a wide range subjects, including geography, environmental management, geology, oceanography and coastal/civil engineering. The book will also be a valuable resource for researchers and applied scientists dealing with coastal environments.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe final report summarizes the products of more than four years of research in the classification of coastal environments and includes three manuscripts detailing the results and conclusions of three studies not issued in technical report form. The three studies included are titled 'Coastal Wave Climates of the Americas, ' 'Coastal Marine Fauna and Marine Climates of the Americas, ' and 'An Assessment of Remote Sensing as a Tool in Classifying Coastal Landscape Elements.' In addition, an evaluation of data quality, quantity, availability, and suitability for the purposes of classifying coastal environments is included.
