Geologic time line.Crowded into the beautiful, narrow strip at the edge of the ocean, the large number of people who live near California's dynamic coastline often have little awareness of the hazards-waves, tides, wind, storms, rain, and runoff-that erode and impact the coast and claim property on a regular basis. This up-to-date, authoritative, and easy-to-use book, a geological profile of the California coast from Mexico to the Oregon border, describes the landforms and processes that shape the coastline and beaches, documents how erosion has affected development, and discusses the options that are available for dealing with coastal hazards and geologic instability. A completely revised and updated edition of Living with the California Coast (1985), this book features hundreds of new photographs and the latest data on human activity on the coast, on climate change, on rising seas levels, and on coastal erosion and protection. With its dramatic photographs and mile-by-mile maps, Living with the Changing California Coast will be an essential resource for those intending to buy or build along the coast, those who need specific information about various coastal regions, and those who are seeking information about how this remarkable coastline has evolved. *279 photographs portray natural coastal features and processes and illustrate many instances of what can happen to buildings on the coast *81 maps, covering the entire coast, detail types of coastal landforms, coastline erosion rates, locations of seawalls or armor, and other specific areas of interest *Offers specific advice for homebuyers,residents, and developers on which areas to avoid, on what safety measures should be taken, and on what danger signals should be heededShore protectionCaliforniaCoastsCaliforniaCoastal zone managementCaliforniaamerica.california coast.california residents.california.climate change.coastal features.coastal hazards.coastal landscape.coastline.erosion.geologic change.geologic instability.geologic processes.geological profile.homebuyers.human impact.land developers.land development.landforms.maps.mexico.natural world.nonfiction.oregon border.photographs.practical guide.reference guide.regional geography.regional geology.regional history.sea levels.united states.Shore protectionCoastsCoastal zone management551.45/7/09794Griggs Gary B1179021Patsch Kiki1977-1564374Savoy Lauret E1564375Flick Reinhard E1564376MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788991203321Living with the changing California Coast3833375UNINA
