Produktbeschreibung

Coastal Geomorphology: Processes, Landforms, and Human Interactions by Dr. Aran Castro A J is an in-depth exploration of the dynamic processes that shape our planet's coastlines. This comprehensive guide delves into the physical processes, such as wave action, tides, and sediment transport, that create and transform coastal landforms, including beaches, dunes, estuaries, and coral reefs. In a time when coastal regions are increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including sea-level rise and intensifying storms, understanding coastal geomorphology is more crucial than ever. Dr. Castro's book not only covers the natural processes at play but also examines the significant influence of human activities on coastal environments. From coastal development and erosion to hazard management and conservation, this book offers practical insights into the challenges and opportunities for sustainable coastal management. Designed for students, researchers, and professionals in the fields of geology, geography, environmental science, and coastal management, Coastal Geomorphology: Processes, Landforms, and Human Interactions is both a foundational text and a forward-looking resource. It bridges the gap between scientific research and real-world application, providing readers with the tools they need to understand and manage the complex interplay between natural processes and human impacts on coastal systems. With case studies from around the world, including detailed examples from India, this book is a valuable reference for anyone interested in the future of our coastlines. Whether you're an academic, a practitioner, or simply someone fascinated by the natural world, Dr. Castro's work offers a compelling look at the forces shaping our coasts and the ways we can work to protect them.
