Book Description
The Continental Shelf off SE Florida between Palm Beach and Miami was surveyed to locate and evaluate sand deposits usable for artificial beach nourishment. Survey data covered 141 square miles of that part of the Continental Shelf between 15- and 100-foot depths, and consisted of seismic reflection profiles and sediment cores from the sea floor. As beach nourishment, sand-sized sediments from the shelf off SE Florida are of marginal quality. (Author).

Book Description
Excerpt from Geomorphology and Sediments of the Inner New York Bight Continental Shelf: Technical Memorandum No. 45; July 1974 This report is one of a continuing series which describes results of the Coastal Engineering Research center (cerc) Inner Continental Shelf Sediment and Structure (icons) Study. One aspect of the icons program 'is locating and' delineating offshore sand and gravel deposits suitable for beach nourishment and restoration.

Book Description
The world's continental shelves are the sites of vast resources of food, energy and minerals, the exploitation of which is continuously increasing. Fluctuating global sea levels throughout the Quaternary period produced multiple transgressive and regressive cycles that profoundly affected and shaped these shelves. The complex interactions among climate, sea level, tectonics, oceanography and sediment input have formed distinctive sediment packages on each shelf and provide a guide to the interpretation of older shelf sequences throughout the geological record. This Memoir compiles studies on 23 selected shelves from all the continents, focusing on their evolution and examining the patterns of sedimentation during the past approximately 125 000 years. In addition to providing basic background information for each area, the chapters consider specific aspects of continental shelf research, from seismic stratigraphy to geomorphology, from palaeoceanography to palaeo sea-level reconstruction and from palaeontology to geochemistry.
