Description: Handbook of Beach and Shoreface Morphodynamics by Andrew D. Short Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A thorough, detailed description of all aspects of wave and beach dynamics, as well as an incorporation of the new and growing fields of beach--dune interactions, large--scale coastal behavior, beach type management, and the human dimension of beach hazards is offered in this information--packed book. Publisher Description A highly readable book on the nature of beaches, including thedynamics of the shoreface, surf, swash and backbeach, and globallyat the regional variations in beach systems from the tropics to thepoles. The beach and adjacent shoreface are the most dynamic part of theEarths surface. They represent a narrow zone where waves, tidesand winds continously interact, producing, wherever sediment isavailable, hundreds of thousands of kilometres of beach systems.Beaches are also the focus of intense pressure from users anddevelopers, and for these reasons alone a knowledge of beachsystems and their morphodynamics is critical to their sustainablemanagement. This book is the first to: * provide an in-depth and holistic view of beach systems, lookingboth in detail at the different beach zones and globally at rangeof parameters influencing regional variation * examine the relationship between beaches and ancillary dunesystems and includes chapters on beach ecology, safety,stratification and barrier evolution. The book is designed for use in the classroom and the office, beingaimed at university level students and coastal professioanls. Author Biography Andrew Short is an honorary professor in the School of Geosciences at the University of Sydney. Since 1991, he has been National Co-ordinator of the Australian Beach Safety and Management Program in co-operation with Surf Life Saving Australia. He is interested in the processes and morphology of coastal systems. Present research focuses on the beach and barrier systems of Australia, both in terms of the morphodynamics of representative systems in variable wave and tide environments, and in the nature, hazards and usage of all Australia beach systems.
