Book Description
The Wadden Sea area of the North Sea is one which undergoes rapid morphological changes. Under natural conditions, the barrier islands would adjust them¬selves to a rising sea level. However, be¬cause the islands are densely populated and have an important role as holiday resorts, morphological changes are un¬desirable. Coastal engineering counter-measures have been undertaken to pre¬vent beach erosion, shifting of tidal in¬lets, breaching of dune ridges and land¬ward-directed washover. The natural processes and the results of human inter¬ference including the negative conse¬quences of many of the measures are discussed in detail. The author presents the current state of research, together with the results of his own investigations. In addition, a comprehensive description of the geomorphological development and recent problems of the barrier is¬lands from Texel to Fanø is given for the first time. The book includes 40 colour photographs and 393 figures, almost all previously unpublished. Sat¬ellite and radar imagery as well as many aerial photographs are also included. The book is intended for geomorphologists, sedimentologists, environmentalists and all those with a scientific interest in tidal flats and barrier islands.

Aeolian and Adhesion Morphodynamics and Phytoecology in Recent Coastal and Inland Sand and Snow Flats and Dunes from Mainly North Sea and Baltic Sea to Mars and Venus

Book Description
The outline of the aeolian and adhesion morphodynamics and phytoecology in recent coastal and inland sand and snow flats and dunes includes examples from the North Sea coast (Netherlands, Germany and Denmark), Baltic Sea coast (Germany, Poland, Russia and Lithuania), snow flats on ice plates covering frozen inland lakes (Germany), Great Sand Dunes aeolian dune field and Medano Creek sand flat (Colorado/USA), Red River sand flat (Texas and Oklahoma/USA); and Mars, Venus, Titan, Triton and other bodies in the solar system of planets and satellites. The actual geological, geomorphological and physical geographical study of modern dune fields and fluvial or marine sand flats permits also the comparative palaeoenvironmental interpretation of ancient dune fields and sand flats in fluvial basins in Buntsandstein (Lower Triassic), Rotliegend (Lower Permian) and Keuper (Upper Triassic). Lists of References, Key Words and Illustrations. More than 10,000 References.
