Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of sand, a seemingly simple material that plays a crucial role in shaping our coastlines. The author examines the spatial and temporal variations in mean sand size along beaches in southern New Jersey, providing a detailed analysis of three key beaches: Long Beach Island, Atlantic City, and Ludlam Island. Through meticulous data collection and analysis, the author explores the complex interplay of factors that influence sand size distribution, including location, elevation, and time of year. Drawing upon previous studies, the author reveals that sand size on these beaches exhibits a general southward decrease, consistent with the direction of net longshore sediment transport. However, the author also uncovers unexpected patterns, such as the presence of discontinuities in sand size at specific inlets, suggesting a more nuanced relationship between sediment transport and sand size than previously understood. The book sheds light on the significant influence of wind and wave action on beach morphology, as well as the potential impact of human interventions like beach nourishment on the natural processes that shape our coastlines. Ultimately, this book offers valuable insights into the dynamics of sand and its role in defining our coastal landscapes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

About this title

Synopsis

Discover how median sand size varies along and across southern New Jersey beaches and what that means for coastal projects.

This report compiles site-specific data on sand size from five New Jersey beach localities, with a focus on three primary sites. It explains how mean sand size changes with location, profile position, and time, using both RSA analyses and dry-sieving methods.

Readers can compare sand-size patterns across profiles, understand seasonal tendencies, and see how these sizes influence beach design and management. The study aims to help engineers plan fills and interpret coastal processes for practical applications.

Site-specific sand-size data for Long Beach Island, Atlantic City, and Ludlam Island (with context from Island Beach and Brigantine).
Analysis of variation by locality, profile line, elevation, and month.
Discussion of how sand size informs beach fills, slope, and berm formation considerations.
Comparison of RSA results with traditional sieve methods to illustrate reliability and differences.

Ideal for engineers, planners, and students interested in coastal processes and project design on the New Jersey coast.
