Introduction to Coastal Processes and Geomorphology
“Introduction to Coastal Processes and Geomorphology” by Robin Davidson-Arnott is a comprehensive guide published by Cambridge University Press on December 3, 2009. This edition spans 458 pages and is written in English, making it accessible to undergraduate students studying coastal geomorphology. The book provides an in-depth overview of the processes that shape coastlines and the various features found in coastal systems worldwide.
Readers will find a quantitative approach that enhances their understanding of wave and current processes, alongside clear explanations of erosion, transport, and deposition. The text includes over 400 illustrations and photographs, showcasing major coastal features such as sandy beaches and coral reefs, while relating them to contemporary processes and historical sea-level changes. Additionally, the book presents key equations for mapping these processes and offers online materials, including videos and virtual field trips, to enrich the learning experience.
Official synopsis Publisher
Written for undergraduate students studying coastal geomorphology, this is the complete guide to the processes at work on our coastlines and the features we see in coastal systems across the world. Accessible to students from a range of disciplines, the quantitative approach of this book helps to build a solid understanding of wave and current processes that shape coastlines. The resulting processes of erosion, transport and deposition and the features they create are clearly explained, with over 400 illustrations and photographs. From sandy beaches to coral reefs, the major coastal features are related to contemporary processes and to sea-level changes over the past 25,000 years. Key equations describing or predicting measurements from instruments used to map these processes are all presented in this wide-ranging overview. Davidson-Arnott completes this teaching package with online material that brings the subject to life, including videos of coastal processes and virtual field trips.
