Description
About the Book
Coastal geology is a field of study that investigates the dynamic interaction between land and sea, shaping the Earth's coastline. It comprises the study of coastal landforms, sedimentary processes, and geological hazards in these regions. Processes like erosion, deposition, and weathering play crucial roles in coastal evolution. Waves, tides, currents, and sea level changes continually modify the coastline, leading to the formation of distinctive landforms and ecosystems. This is essential for coastal management and mitigating natural hazards like erosion, flooding, and storm surges. The objective of this book is to give a general view of the different areas of coastal geology, and its applications. Such selected concepts that redefine this field of study have been presented herein. This book is meant for students who are looking for an elaborate reference text on coastal geology.Book Synopsis
