Sand, Dams, and Beaches -- IndexCoastal regions around the world have become increasingly crowded, intensively developed, and severely exploited. Hundreds of millions of people living in these low-lying areas are subject to short-term coastal hazards such as cyclones, hurricanes, and destruction due to El Niño, and are also exposed to the long-term threat of global sea-level rise. These massive concentrations of people expose often-fragile coastal environments to the runoff and pollution from municipal, industrial, and agricultural sources as well as the impacts of resource exploitation and a wide range of other human impacts. Can environmental impacts be reduced or mitigated and can coastal regions adapt to natural hazards? Coasts in Crisis is a comprehensive assessment of the impacts that the human population is having on the coastal zone globally and the diverse ways in which coastal hazards impact human settlement and development. Gary Griggs provides a concise overview of the individual hazards, risks, and issues threatening the coastal zone.CoastsCoastal zone managementNatural disastersClimatic changesHazardous geographic environmentsCoasts.Coastal zone management.Natural disasters.Climatic changes.Hazardous geographic environments.551.45/7Griggs Gary, 1179021Dodd KurtGohn Kathleen K.Geological Survey (U.S.),DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910693493203321Coasts in Crisis3162049UNINA03405nam 2200553Ia 450 991077964770332120230721010747.01-60876-814-7(CKB)2550000001041605(EBL)3018700(SSID)ssj0000834858(PQKBManifestationID)11464332(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000834858(PQKBWorkID)10981563(PQKB)11759741(MiAaPQ)EBC3018700(Au-PeEL)EBL3018700(CaPaEBR)ebr10661638(OCoLC)847646616(EXLCZ)99255000000104160520090112d2009 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrAirborne particulates[electronic resource] /Ming Cheng and Wen Liu, editorsNew York Nova Science Publishersc20091 online resource (361 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-60692-907-0 Includes bibliographical references and index.A study on bioreactivity and health effect on inhalable particulates in Beijing China / Longyi Shao ...
