Richly illustrated and told with great humor and enlightening analogies, Surf, Sand, and Stone is easily accessible yet contains valuable resources for those who want to delve deeper."-Mark Johnsson, staff geologist, California Coastal Commission"; Surf, Sand, and Stone is an entertaining and very readable explanation of the complex geology and oceanography of the Southern California coast. Meldahl must be an excellent teacher as he has a real gift for writing about complex topics in a comfortable, engaging, and fascinating manner."; -Gary Griggs, Director, Institute of Marine Sciences, UC Santa Cruz Southern California is sandwiched between two tectonic plates with an ever-shifting boundary. Over the last several million years, movements of these plates have dramatically reshuffled the Earth's crust to create rugged landscapes and seascapes riven with active faults. Movement along these faults triggers earthquakes and tsunamis, pushes up mountains, and lifts sections of coastline. Over geologic time, beaches come and go, coastal bluffs retreat, and the sea rises and falls. Nothing about Southern California's coast is stable. Surf, Sand, and Stone tells the scientific story of the Southern California coast: its mountains, islands, beaches, bluffs, surfing waves, earthquakes, and related phenomena. It takes readers from San Diego to Santa Barbara, revealing the evidence for how the coast's features came to be and how they are continually changing. With a compelling narrative and clear illustrations, Surf, Sand, and Stone outlines how the coast will be altered in the future and how we can best prepare for it. 606 $aCoast changes$zCalifornia, Southern 606 $aGeomorphology$zCalifornia, Southern 610 $acalifornia earthquakes. 610 $acalifornia fault lines. 610 $acalifornia geology. 610 $acalifornia tsunamis. 610 $acoastal geology. 610 $acoastal science. 610 $acoastal shifts california. 610 $aearth sciences. 610 $aearth studies. 610 $ageology. 610 $ageomorphology. 610 $anorth american plate. 610 $aoak ridge fault. 610 $aoceanography. 610 $aoutdoor science. 610 $apacific plate. 610 $asan andreas fault. 610 $asanta ynez fault. 610 $asouthern california coastline. 610 $asouthern california. 610 $atectonic plates california. 610 $atectonic plates. 610 $atectonic shift. 615 0$aCoast changes 615 0$aGeomorphology 676 $a551.457097949 700 $aMeldahl$b Keith Heyer$01530507 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797209803321 996 $aSurf, sand, and stone$93850414 997 $aUNINA
