This book is one out of 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes, and deals with
the processes occurring on the coastal zone, which represents a
critical interface between land and sea, as the contribution of the
ocean to the provision of energy and mineral resources will likely
increase in the coming decades. Several related topics fit into
this volume, such as: coastal developments and infrastructures;
dredging and beach re-nourishment; sediment erosion, transport and
accumulation; geohazard assessment; seafloor uses; seabed mapping;
exploration and exploitation of the seafloor, of the sub-seafloor,
and of marine clean energies and climatic and anthropogenic impacts
on coastal and marine environments. Examples of specific themes are
coastal management and shore protection, taking into account
storm-related events and natural and anthropogenic changes in the
relative sea level, planning of waste disposal, remedial works for
coastal pollution, seafloor pipeline engineering, slope stability
analysis, or tsunami propagation and flooding. The Engineering
Geology for Society and Territory volumes of the IAEG XII Congress
held in Torino from September 15-19, 2014, analyze the dynamic role
of engineering geology in our changing world and build on the four
main themes of the congress: environment, processes, issues and
approaches. The congress topics and subject areas of the 8 IAEG XII
Congress volumes are: 1. Climate Change and Engineering Geology 2.
Landslide Processes River Basins 3. Reservoir Sedimentation and
Water Resources 4. Marine and Coastal Processes Urban Geology 5.
Sustainable Planning and Landscape Exploitation 6. Applied Geology
