Synopsis
This book delves into the fascinating world of shoreline evolution, a topic often overlooked yet crucial for understanding coastal landscapes. The author, a respected expert in the field, meticulously examines the natural forces that shape and reshape shorelines over time, tracing the development of mathematical models that predict these changes with increasing accuracy. Beginning with the pioneering work of Pelnard-Considere, the book charts the evolution of shoreline modeling, exploring the complexities of wave dynamics, sediment transport, and the interplay between human interventions such as groins and breakwaters. The author also delves into the latest research on hooked beaches and crenulate-shaped bays. Throughout, the book weaves together theoretical insights with practical applications, making it an invaluable resource for coastal engineers, geologists, and anyone interested in the dynamic processes that shape our coastlines. By elucidating the intricate relationship between waves, sediment, and shoreline configuration, this book deepens our understanding of coastal environments and provides vital knowledge for managing and protecting these precious landscapes.
