关于此电子书

""Waves Shape Coasts"" explores how wave dynamics relentlessly sculpt coastlines through erosion and deposition, a crucial understanding for coastal management and climate change adaptation. The book highlights the mechanics of wave erosion, detailing processes like hydraulic action and abrasion, where waves compress air into cracks, fracturing rocks, and the grinding of rock fragments smooths surfaces. It also explains how coastal surveys using advanced technologies such as LiDAR and GPS precisely map and monitor these ever-changing shorelines. The book integrates traditional fieldwork with modern remote sensing techniques, offering a holistic view of coastal dynamics. Progressing logically, it begins with wave dynamics and geomorphology, then examines specific erosional processes with global case studies. Coastal survey techniques are detailed, culminating in a discussion of coastal management, conservation, and climate change adaptation. This approach provides readers with a blend of academic rigor and accessible explanations, valuable for students and professionals in earth sciences, geography, and environmental science.
