The review of geochronological and historical data documents that the largest southern European deltas formed almost synchronously during two short intervals of enhanced anthropic pressure on landscapes, respectively during the Roman Empire and the Little Ice Age. These growth phases, that occurred under contrasting climatic regimes, were both followed by generalized delta retreat, driven by tw...

Foredune volume is an important factor for coastal safety and depends on the balance between erosion through wave attack and sediment input via aeolian transport. Dune erosion can be simulated with good accuracy, but predictions of aeolian sediment transport into the foredunes are still difficult to make. As part of a larger project that aims to model foredune development over decades, the goal...

This paper is a case history of coastal development in Camp Ellis, Saco, Maine. It begins in 1867 with dredging and jetty construction at the mouth of the Saco River to facilitate commercial navigation. Beach accretion resulting from tidal delta collapse was developed with residences before its ephemeral nature was recognized. Misunderstanding of the riverine source of beach sand and the net, n...

Coastal ecosystems experience a wide range of stressors including wave forces, storm surge, sea-level rise, and anthropogenic modification and are thus vulnerable to erosion. Urban coastal ecosystems are especially important due to the large populations these limited ecosystems serve. However, few studies have addressed the issue of urban coastal vulnerability at the landscape scale with spatia...

Vegetation cover is an important factor influencing the occurrence and movement of rainfalltriggered landslides, and changes to vegetation cover often result in modified landslide behaviour. However, it is difficult to relate the occurrence of landslides directly to variations in land use, especially in some European countries. In contrast, New Zealand provides a good opportunity to investigate...

Coastal erosion is the process of land in coastal areas due to waves and ocean currents which reduce can adversely affect socio-economic activities areas. risk assessment estuary a development previous research, because accretion processes do not only occur along shoreline, but also on side facing river water bodies, confluence fluvial marine processes. The landward shift shoreline Muara Asam a...

Coastal erosion has been affected by environmental factors and human development. The investigation of the coastal in San Juan, La Union covers analysis quantitative data that can be applied to protect community, minimize economic losses, plan for improvement process response. main objective this study was investigate shoreline response based on extent problem 5.36 km - coastline Juan predict l...
