• Sommario/riassunto: This book, 'Sea Levels and Coastal Boundaries' by George M. Cole, explores the dynamics of sea level changes and their impact on coastal boundaries. It delves into both short-term and long-term variations in sea levels, including phenomena such as tides, storm surges, and tsunamis, as well as historical and contemporary trends. The book examines how these changes affect littoral and riparian boundaries, with a focus on legal implications under the Public Trust Doctrine. It discusses boundary definitions and determination methods in both tidal and nontidal waters, and addresses national and state maritime boundaries. The work is aimed at professionals and scholars in hydrographic and topographical surveying, as well as those interested in environmental law and policy.
