Coastal Dunes Form and Process Edited by Karl F. Nordstrom Norbert
Psuty Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences, Rutgers University,
New Brunswick, New Jersey 08903, USA and Bill Carter Department of
Environmental Studies, University of Ulster, Coleraine, Co.
Londonderry, BT52 1SA, Northern Ireland Coastal Morphology and
Research Series Series Editor: Eric C. F. Bird This book deals with
the formation and establishment of coastal dunes--considering both
forms and processes in a wide variety of environments. These
landforms are among the most sensitive to environmental change, yet
they provide extensive protection against both short-term erosion
and flooding and long-term sea-level rise. Until now, there has not
been any major book to deal specifically with coastal dunes. The
current volume surveys a range of dune features, such as the
ephemeral characteristics in the rapidly subsiding Mississippi
delta, the extensive sand sheets of Australia and South Africa and
the Holocene dunes of Western Europe and North America. This book
will provide essential background information for ecological and
management studies of coastal dunes. It will be of immense value to
geomorphologists, ecologists and other environmental scientists who
work on the management of coastal dunes.
