Chapter 5 - Coastal Sediment Processes - Pile Buck Magazine
The coastline is a unique geological environment. Sediments along the coast are constantly being reshaped by waves and other currents. These processes, primarily sand movement, can have significant implications for engineers tasked with working in this environment. The study of coastal sediment processes includes several specialty areas of coastal geology including coastal geomorphology, the study of coastal landforms and features, and coastal sedimentology, the study of the properties of beach sands.
