Morpho-sedimentary dynamics of mixed sand and gravel coasts. 330 $aThis book describes recent advances in the morphodynamics of mixed sand and gravel Mediterranean coasts, and provides updates and new methods for their study and management. It assesses how the differences in the geomorphic setting, in comparison with traditional sandy beaches, result in distinctive physical processes governing the dynamics of these coasts. Further, on the basis of field measurements, theoretical analysis and numerical modeling carried out at two study sites in southern Spain over the last 15 years, the book studies, analyzes and compares these physical processes and mechanisms. It also shows that the narrow and complex bathymetries and inner shelves modify the wave propagation patterns and hence, the longshore sediment transport gradients along the coast. Given the correlation between the changes in these gradients and the shoreline evolution over time, it identifies the complexity of the inner shelf bathymetries as the main driver of coastal changes and describes these processes in detail using, in the plan view, the inter-annual evolution of unaltered and ?altered by human? beaches. Lastly, the book details how the generation and subsequent overlapping of berms across the beach profile are responsible for the sediment variability at depth and cross-shore, and concludes that the total run-up (including the water-level) is a more influential variable than wave height in the erosional/depositional response of these beaches. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Earth Sciences,$x2191-5369 606 $aOceanography 606 $aCoasts 606 $aGeomorphology 606 $aCivil engineering 606 $aOceanography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G25005 606 $aCoastal Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G35020 606 $aGeomorphology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J16010 606 $aCivil Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23004 615 0$aOceanography. 615 0$aCoasts. 615 0$aGeomorphology. 615 0$aCivil engineering. 615 14$aOceanography. 615 24$aCoastal Sciences. 615 24$aGeomorphology. 615 24$aCivil Engineering. 676 $a910.021822 700 $aOrtega-Sánchez$b Miguel$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01024614 702 $aBergillos$b Rafael J$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aLópez-Ruiz$b Alejandro$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aLosada$b Miguel A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910159370303321 996 $aMorphodynamics of Mediterranean Mixed Sand and Gravel Coasts$92435367 997 $aUNINA
