The Australian coast: review and overview -- References -- Appendices.This book describes the entire coast and beaches and barrier systems of Australia. It covers the coastal processes and systems that form and impact Australia's 30.000 km coast, 12.000 beaches and 2750 barrier systems. These processes include geology, geomorphology, climate, waves, tides, currents, sediment supply, as well as coastal ecosystems. The coast is divided into tropical northern and southern temperate provinces, within which are seven divisions, 23 regions and 354 coastal sediment compartments each of which is described in detail in the 34 chapters. Within these systems are the full range of wave through tide-dominated beaches and barriers ranging from cheniers to massive transgressive dune systems together with a range of onshore and longshore sand transport systems. This is an up to date reference for the entire coast, its present condition and likely responses to the impacts of climate change.Coastal Research Library,2211-0577 ;32CoastsGeomorphologyMarine sciencesFreshwaterOceanographyEcosystemsNature conservationCoastal Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G35020Geomorphologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J16010Marine & Freshwater Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U36000Oceanographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G25005Ecosystemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L1904XNature Conservationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U26008CostesthubPlatgesthubSediments litoralsthubGeomorfologiathubAustràliathubLlibres electrònicsthubCoasts.Geomorphology.Marine sciences.Freshwater.Oceanography.Ecosystems.Nature conservation.Coastal Sciences.Geomorphology.Marine & Freshwater Sciences.Oceanography.Ecosystems.Nature Conservation.CostesPlatgesSediments litoralsGeomorfologia333.78Short Andrew Dauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut305450BOOK9910366637603321Australian Coastal Systems1982560UNINA
