Book Description
A three dimensional, physical model study of the effects of wave directionality on wave transformation in the nearshore region was recently completed in the directional spectral wave basin. The model consisted of a 1:30 slope beach with plane-parallel contours, similar to the Torrey Pines Beach in southern California. Irregular waves, typical of unimodal and bimodal unidirectional and directional spectra, were created and tested. An array of 20 capacitance wave gages was used to measure surface wave elevations. This array consisted of offshore and nearshore, high-resolution linear arrays to quantify directional distributions and a cross-shore gage array along the center line to study wave transformation. Results are compared with two dimensional flume test data of similar unidirectional waves and will be used to improve several existing numerical models. The goal of this research is to provide more realistic estimates of nearshore conditions by incorporating the effects of directional distributions in numerical models.

Book Description
Rocky landforms dominate large portions of the world’s coast. Cliffs and shore platforms form spectacular landscapes, yet when compared to other landforms they are relatively unstudied with many contemporary controversies dating back to the mid-nineteenth century. The past decade has seen a reinvigoration of research driven by advances in technology that now enable precise measurements of erosion to the micron scale and quantification of wave energy onto and through cliff edifices to be made, as well as being able to directly date rock surfaces. In order to integrate this diverse range of research this volume’s regional approach first integrates the latest data with longstanding theory and then analyses this research through the boundary conditions that exist in each area. The volume brings together the research leaders in the field; includes chapters on nearly all the major rock coasts of the world and identifies future research needs.

Book Description
The shift from hard shore to soft shore protection has been an impetus to further our understanding of coastal processes and to develop effective, environmentally friendly, and low-cost defence strategies against the erosive sea action. This collection of application-oriented contributions on Soft Shore Protection represents a milestone for environmental coastal engineering science and technology. It covers, among other subjects, nourishing techniques and light structures that slow down or even eliminate erosion, as well as possibilities that coastal management authorities and specialists need to know. Audience: Scientists at engineering, earth sciences and oceanography faculties and institutions will find essential information on this new, expanding field. This volume resulting from the Soft Shore Protection Conference 2000 is directed to educators, students, design coastal engineers, contractors, and national and local coast managers around the world.
