	Coastal geography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Coastal geography is the study of the dynamic interface between the ocean and the land, incorporating both the physical geography(i.e coastal geomorphology, geology and oceanography) and the human geography(sociology and history) of the coast.
		It involves an understanding of coastal weathering processes, particularly wave action, sediment movement and weather, and also the ways in which humans interact with the coast.
		Global warming may result in further rises in the future, which presents a risk to coastal cities as most would be flooded by only small rises.

	Undergraduate degree prospectus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		It is suitable for applicants with a background in science and geography who wish to pursue a course which has a strong emphasis on practical skills and both land-based and marine field work.
		Coastal Geography is about the coastal zone which, though relatively small in area, is of enormous scientific importance and socio-economic relevance.
		Coastal Geography examines the processes that control the properties and transport of water, sediments, and biogeochemical components (such as carbon) from terrestrial to coastal marine environments.

	Coastal and Marine Geography GIA
		Cultural modifications of the coastal environment have been instrumental in reworking the form and sediment distribution to such an extent that it would be perilous to ignore the limitations established by human-induced topography or human manipulations of the sediment budget in developed areas.
		Coastal geomorphologists are still strong in data gathering and observational science, and this is inherent to geomorphology.
		In coastal physical topics, human manipulation of coastal topography and sediment budget are probably underappreciated and subsumed as a small perturbation in either the instantaneous time scale or that of the Holocene or longer.

		This paper examines the practical use of these geospatial technologies as a means to aid in the study of coastal geography in the context of coastal zone management, with specific emphasis being placed on their role in education.
		Reference is also made to practical applications of the technology for studies including estuary management and nature conservation and access to information for coastal managers and practitioners, teaching and training in GIS and geography education, as well as the role of geography and the geospatial technologies in an operational search and rescue environment.
		Coastal zone management has arisen because of the pressures and adverse affects that such uses have had on the coastal environment.

	10(ac) Coastal and Marine Processes and Landforms
		The various landforms of coastal areas are almost exclusively the result of the action of ocean waves.
		The source of energy for coastal erosion and sediment transport is wave action.
		A wave possesses potential energy as a result of its position above the wave trough, and kinetic energy caused by the motion of the water within the wave.

	South Carolina Quaternary Geologic Framework - Discussion & Conclusions
		Pliocene to Pleistocene formations reported from the coastal plain of South Carolina around Charleston Harbor are absent on the inner shelf, but may be found below 10 m water depth.
		Regional drainage patterns for coastal South Carolina reportedly were established during this period of time (240 to 200 ka BP).
		The exposed late Pleistocene deposits were reworked and/or removed as sea level rose after the last glacial episode creating a ravinement surface with shell lag deposits that separates the late Pleistocene unit from the Holocene transgressive deposits.

		California's diverse coastal communities are the result of many different natural forces.
		Coastal streams and rivers, along with wind and rain, shape and tear down these mountains through erosion.
		Coastal rivers and streams meet with the salty waters of the Pacific and create the marshes and lagoons which constitute California's coastal wetlands.

		The use of the shoreline has a direct and significant impact on the coastal waters and the large population centers that inhabit them.
		These coastal areas are under constant pressure from human-induced as well as natural phenomena.

	Changing Nature of Florida's Coastal Geography
		Florida has undergone dramatic changes in the last few decades, from a state with low population density and a primarily rural economy to a relatively densely populated state whose economy depends heavily on tourism and services.
		These include social changes that come from reduction of public access to shore-front areas, conversion of pristine areas to residential and commercial uses, general crowding, deterioration of environments, and a general reduction in the ability to participate in activities that are associated with pristine environments.
		In short, when a coastal area is populated and developed, individuals are restricted from using the area's resources in ways that would be possible in underdeveloped and uninhabited areas.

	Coastal Letters Volume 10, No. 1
		In that volume Russell also discussed the rapid rate of coastal retreat in Louisiana, a retreat that, based on many of the articles published today, is considered a "recent discovery." In those early days Russell expanded his base and included research on other rivers, such as the Rhone in France and the Meander in Turkey.
		An advocate of precise, terminology, Russell thought the term coral reef should be limited to those reefs where corals are in the same relative positions they had when alive and that a reef flat is composed of fragmental reef debris and is normally found landward of the active reef.
		His research interests include aeolian sediment transport, dune development, coastal hazards, and coastal management, and, among other studies, he is currently working on a four-year USDA project on erosion from agricultural fields.

	BBC - GCSE Bitesize - SOS Teacher Geography coasts coastal protection
		Their biggest advantages are that they absorb some of the power of the waves (so reducing erosion) and they also eventually protect the foot of the cliff.
		It could be argued that they are also a more 'attractive' option than some of the other forms of coastal defence, which would be an advantage if you had a tourist area.
		The disadvantages are that they don't protect the foot of the cliff immediately, they might not be as durable as some of the other options and they do not prevent longshore drift either.

		"I think one central characteristic is diversity," reflects Dr. John Winberry, geography professor at the University of South Carolina and associate dean of its graduate school.
		Students of geography will note that the Carolinas are divided into three physiographic regions: the Coastal Plain, the Piedmont Plateau and the Mountain Region.
		The latter is composed of the Appalachians in western North Carolina and the Blue Ridge mountains in South Carolina's northwestern corner.

		Three main natural regions are distinguishable: the coastal zone (Costa); the hoghlands (Andes or Sierra); and the eastern hills and lowlands (Selva).
		Because of the nature of the terrain and its aridity, settlement is almost enterely confined to river valleys and small sections of the coast, mostly near the mouths of rivers.
		Unlike other parts of the coastal belt, most of the population in the south resides along its eastern margins, away from the coast and close to the foot of the Andes.
