A majority of the world?s population lives along the coast at the dynamic intersection between terrestrial and marine ecosystems and landscapes. As narrow, low-lying landforms, barriers are especially vulnerable to changes in sea level, storminess, the geographic distribution of grass species, and the rate of sand supply?some barriers will undergo rapid changes in state (e.g., from landward migrating to disintegrating), on human time scales. Attempts by humans to prevent change can hasten the loss of these landforms, threatening their continued existence as well as the recreational, financial and ecosystem service benefits they provide. Understanding the processes and interactions that drive landscape response to climate change and human actions is essential to adaptation. As managers and governments struggle to plan for the future along low-lying coasts worldwide, and scientists conduct research that provides useful guidance, this volume offers a much-needed compilation for these groups, as well as a window into the science of barrier dynamics for anyone who is generally interested in the impacts of a changing world on coastal environments. 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aClimate change 606 $aCoasts 606 $aGeomorphology 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aPhysical Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J16000 606 $aClimate Change Management and Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/314000 606 $aCoastal Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G35020 606 $aClimate Change$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007 606 $aGeomorphology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J16010 606 $aEnvironmental Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 0$aClimate change. 615 0$aCoasts. 615 0$aGeomorphology. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 14$aPhysical Geography. 615 24$aClimate Change Management and Policy. 615 24$aCoastal Sciences. 615 24$aClimate Change. 615 24$aGeomorphology. 615 24$aEnvironmental Management. 676 $a551.423 702 $aMoore$b Laura J$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMurray$b A.
