Shows ways in which gabions are used for walls, groynes and outfalls on the coast and in tidal waters. First or second year undergraduates in civil engineering.*
An introduction to simple algal zonation on the seashore and its relationship to tidal movements.
Looks at Britain’s coastline, shown by research to be under threat, its management and conservation and the increasing focus on balancing the interests of wildlife, fishermen and local industries.
Shows examples of the variety of use of gabions in coastal structures, including gabion retaining walls, gabion revetments for dune enhancement, gabion groynes for beach control and gabion mats giving...
Two case studies concerned with waves: 1) describes the classic experiment ‘waves across the Pacific’ in which Walter Munk and colleagues tracked waves across half the globe from Antartica to Alaska; 2)...
The confused waves found in a gale at sea are shown experimentally to be made up of a cumulation of simple waves of various wavelengths. Aerial and tank scenes show how every is distributed in each wave. The...
Ocean waves are followed from generation and propagation to final dissipation on the beaches of Northumberland. The interaction between waves and coastal configurations of various types is demonstrated,...
Outlines the nature of the demands being made on the coast, the factorial/process complex, and typical environmental problems facing coastal planners and managers. As well as considering the factors...
Shows the relationship between shoreline processes and present day coastal sediments, with a view to establishing the environment of deposition of sedimentary rocks. Suggests the energy content of the...
Barton is a cliff-top resort in Christchurch Bay, Hampshire, England. Property and amenities are threatened by coastal retreat of up to a metre a year. The problem is caused by a combination of marine...
