内容説明
As coastal populations burgeon, problems of erosion, pollution and coastal change are becoming ever more serious and necessitate scientifically informed management strategies. This authoritative new study discusses the causes of, and possible solutions to, some of the more pressing problems at the coast, against a background of the natural geomorphological and ecological workings of coastal environments.
A holistic approach to the understanding of coastal problems is suggested, which integrates geomorphology, ecology and society through a consideration of the basic processes at work. Coastal problems are caused by both human and natural impacts, often working in conjunction with each other; thus drawing on their wide experience of temperate and tropical coasts the authors consider all types of coastal problems, ranging from those produced entirely naturally to those where the human impact dominates. Extensive use is made of case studies drawn from around the world, from beach erosion along the Nigerian coast to the recovery of the Vietnamese mangroves from war damage. A major theme of the book is that, given recent downgrading of predictions of future sea level rise, it is the distinctive geomorphological, ecological and societal aspects of each coast which are the vital factors.
'Coastal Problems' brings together material vital to any attempts to understand and manage our coasts and will be of interest to all those concerned with the environment and its management.

内容説明
As coastal problems burgeon, problems of erosion, pollution and coastal change are becoming ever more serious, and necessitate more and more complex management strategies. This book examines some of the more serious coastal problems, from natural hazards to the disposal of toxic waste. A holistic approach to the understanding of coastal problems is suggested, which integrates geomorphology, ecology and society through a consideration of the basic processes at work. The book sets concerns about the threat to the coastal environment posed by future global warming in perspective, and illustrates that there are many more pressing problems which must not be ignored in future management plans. Features include case studies drawn from all over the world, and the consideration of both natural problems and those posed by society. Each chapter also considers the likely future of these coastal environments under greenhouse warming, and a concluding chapter looks at the current nature and direction of management strategies.
