Davis | | 视频video | | | 图书封面 |  | | 描述 | Barrier islands represent a complex coastal system that includes a number of different sedimentary depositional environments; nearshore zone, beach, dunes, washover fans, marshes, tidal flats, estuaries, lagoons, and tidal inlets. The morphodynamics of these fragile coastal systems provide a further complication to this coastal type. Although barrier islands comprise only 15% of the world‘s coastline, they have received a far greater proportion of attention from the scientific and engineering community, and more recently, from coastal managers and environmentalists. Modern barrier islands are arguably the most expensive and most vulnerable of all coastal environments. Pressure from developers for residential, industrial, and recreational development has caused most of our barriers to become significantly impacted by human activity, especially over the past few decades. These pres sures have led to extensive preservation of natural barriers through efforts from all levels of government and also by private organizations. Governments have also formed coastal management programs that help to control any future de velopment with the intent being to keep human activity compatible with | | 出版日期 | Book 1994 | | 关键词 | Barrier Islands; Coast; Coastal Geology; Küstengeologie; Sediment; Sedimentologie; Stratigraphie; Stratigra | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-78360-9 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-78362-3 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-78360-9 | | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1994 |
