Stabilization and preservation of cliffs are treated in detail. Mitigation of cliff hazards and preservation of scenic features and sites of scientific importance requires effective coastal cliff management that can only be based on thorough knowledge of the physical processes at work. Cliffs have been cut in various geological formations, and have taken shape as a sequel to a world-wide sea level rise. Most cliffs have receded as the result of weathering and erosion, but some are now stable. Where they are actively receding, consuming useful agricultural or forested land or threatening coastal structures such as roads, buildings and seaside towns, it may be necessary to halt their retreat, or at least to modify it, by coastal cliff management.SpringerBriefs in Earth Sciences,2191-5369Natural disastersCoastsGeomorphologyNatural Hazardshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000Coastal Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G35020Geomorphologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J16010Natural disasters.Coasts.Geomorphology.Natural Hazards.Coastal Sciences.Geomorphology.551.457Bird Ericauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1061385MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254118803321Coastal Cliffs: Morphology and Management2518669UNINA
