Sequence Stratigraphy and Depositional Response to Eustatic, Tectonic and Climatic Forcing
Av B.U. Haq
Inbunden, 1995
1641 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Sequence stratigraphy has advanced considerably since the early applications of the concepts on seismic data. It attempts to discern the migration of facies re sulting from changes in a combination of factors such as, sea level, tectonics, climate and sediment flux, and integrates it with a …
Sea-Level Rise and Coastal Subsidence: Causes, Consequences, and Strategies
Inbunden, 1996
1641 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Greenhouse-induced climate warming increasingly appears to be a reality, and the warming climate will be accompanied by an accelerated sea level rise - as much as 60-100cm over the next century. What is commonly absent in the discussion of rising sea level, however, is the role played by the …
Coastal Zone Management Imperative for Maritime Developing Nations
Av B.U. Haq, Gunnar Kullenberg m. fl.
Inbunden, 1997
2403 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Anthropogenic transformation of the coastal zone continues at a steady pace, especially in the developing maritime countries, where coastal resources are often crucial to national economies. However, exploitation of these resources is often indiscriminate, ill planned, or carried out without …
Coastal and Marine Geo-Information Systems
Applying the Technology to the Environment
Av David R. Green, Stephen D. King
Inbunden, 2003
3819 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The emphasis now placed on the concept of sediment cells as boundaries for coastal defence groups, and the development of SMPs, should help CPAs realise the importance of natural processes at the coast when designing defence and protection schemes. However, this will only be the case where defence …
Engineered Coasts
Av Jiyu Chen, Doeke Eisma m. fl.
Inbunden, 2002
1641 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Increasing population, expanding industry and commerce, and tourism are placing added pressures on an already highly-utilized coastal zone. This book, through a series of case studies, illustrates the variety of changes already made along the coastlines of the world. The examples used are mainly …
Soft Shore Protection
An Environmental Innovation in Coastal Engineering
Av Constantine Goudas, George Katsiaris m. fl.
Inbunden, 2003
1641 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Global warming, melting polar caps, rising sea levels and intensifying wave-current action, factors responsible for the alarming phenomena of coastal erosion on the one hand and adverse environmental impacts and the high cost of 'hard' protection schemes, on the other, have created interest in the …
Natural Gas Hydrate
In Oceanic and Permafrost Environments
Av M.D. Max
Häftad, 2003
552 kr
Lägg i varukorg
1. THE BEGINNINGS OF HYDRATE RESEARCH Until very recently, our understanding of hydrate in the natural environment and its impact on seafloor stability, its importance as a sequester of methane, and its potential as an important mechanism in the Earth's climate change system, was masked by our lack …
High Resolution Morphodynamics and Sedimentary Evolution of Estuaries
Av Duncan M. FitzGerald, Jasper Knight
Inbunden, 2005
1641 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Estuaries occur along many of the world’s coastlines irrespective of geologic setting, energy regime, and depositional environment. They represent the interface between fluvial, coastal and marine environments and they contain the sedimentary record of geological changes among these systems. …
Asia-Pacific Coasts and Their Management
States of Environment
Av Nobuo Mimura
Inbunden, 2008
1641 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The Asia-Pacific region is home to the world’s largest region of coral reefs and mangroves. It accommodates two-thirds of the world’s human population and its economic activities have the highest growth rate in the world. Ongoing degradation of the environment, resulting from coastal development, …
Global Change and Integrated Coastal Management
The Asia-Pacific Region
Av Nick Harvey
Inbunden, 2006
1641 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Most of the world’s population lives close to the coast and is highly dependent on coastal resources, which are being exploited at unsustainable rates. These resources are being subject to further pressures associated with population increase and the globalization of coastal resource demand. This …
Economic Geology of Natural Gas Hydrate
Av Michael D. Max, Arthur H. Johnson m. fl.
Inbunden, 2005
1641 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This book is a companion to “Natural Gas Hydrate in Oceanic and Permafrost Environments” (Max, 2000, 2003), which is the first book on gas hydrate in this series. Although other gases can naturally form clathrate hydrates (referred to after as ‘hydrate’), we are concerned here only with hydrocarbon …
Saltmarsh Conservation, Management and Restoration
2007
1292 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Coastal habitats provide the link between the land and the sea. They are dynamic, combine to form ecosystems of great complexity and provide significant areas for wildlife. Their landscapes are treasured by visitors, painters and musicians. They also provide locations for significant economic …

In 2005 the CoastGIS symposium and exhibition was once again held in Aberdeen, Scotland, in the UK, the second time that we have had the privilege host this international event in the city of Aberdeen. This was the 6th International S- posium Computer Mapping and GIS for Coastal Zone Management, a …
