Case Studies. 330 $aThis book is the result of comprehensive research work on the various aspects of the West Bengal coast including the world?s largest riverine delta system, the Ganga-Brahmaputra Delta. The role of various hydrodynamic factors in shaping the coastal configuration and physicochemical parameters of coastal waters, soils, and granulometry of beach sands are extensively discussed. The coasts of the Indian peninsula, particularly the east coast, are subjected to severe cyclones, tidal bores, storm surges, and strong drift, which changes the coastal configuration as well as the quality of waters and the fertility of soils. A systematic description of major cyclones and their effects on coastal areas are described in detail. The book offers comprehensive information on the prevailing ecological conditions and lush green mangrove forests with wide-ranging flora and fauna of Sundarbans. UNESCO has declared Sundarbans as one of the world?s heritage sites, and as in other partsof the world, some of the coastal areas in West Bengal have attracted the attention of many tourists. Various steps undertaken by the government for coastal zone management and sustainable development of the coastal areas have been highlighted in the book. This book will be of interest to students and researchers of the coastal environment. 410 0$aSpringer Water,$x2364-8198 606 $aOceanography 606 $aEcology 606 $aSedimentology 606 $aNatural disasters 606 $aGeomorphology 606 $aOcean Sciences 606 $aBiooceanography 606 $aSedimentology 606 $aNatural Hazards 606 $aGeomorphology 615 0$aOceanography. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aSedimentology. 615 0$aNatural disasters. 615 0$aGeomorphology. 615 14$aOcean Sciences. 615 24$aBiooceanography. 615 24$aSedimentology. 615 24$aNatural Hazards. 615 24$aGeomorphology. 676 $a016.5001 676 $a577.51095414 700 $aDas$b Gautam Kumar$01058526 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910639884703321 996 $aCoastal Environments of India$93003401 997 $aUNINA
