2. Beaches : form & process : numerical experiments with monochromatic waves on the orthogonal profile

   Hardisty, J. (Jack), 1955-

   London [England] ; Cambridge, MA : Unwin Hyman, 1990.

   This book places research into worldwide beach environments in its geomorphological context. Having introduced the systems approach to environmental modelling, and identified the groups of processes operating on beaches, the text is structured in five parts: the first three sections provide a sequential account of the effects of these processes on the beach system; part four focuses on theory relevant to landform stability, then reviews existing empirical, analytical and numerical models; and the final section introduces a computer model and shows its application to the process functions developed earlier. In addition, over 30 specially written computer models for beach system processes are presented, and the author pays particular attention to the problems associated with our understanding of dynamic coastal environments. It is aimed at advanced students and professionals in geomorphology, geology and coastal engineering.

3. Beaches : erosion, management practices and environmental implications

   New York, N.Y. : Novinka, [2014]

   Sandy beaches are the most abundant coastal systems world-wide, representing approximately 3/4 of the worlds' coastlines. In the last decades, these sensitive and dynamic ecosystems have been a target of an increasing human pressure, associated with an unbridled urbanisation of coastal areas, caused by high human population growth, but also associated with recreational activities and tourism. Together with global climatic changes and coastal erosion, these processes lead to detrimental impacts and an environmental quality decline of sandy beach ecosystems, imposing an increasing need for adequate assessment and management practices. This book discusses the El Nino-Southern oscillation and coastal response; macrofaunal key species as useful tools in management and assessment practices on sandy beaches; improving coastal knowledge transfer between researchers and managers; the influence of environmental aspects in the variation of natural radioactivity levels in selected Brazilian beach sand samples; nuisance algal blooms; and down-coast erosion triggered by exhaustion of sand supply from sea cliffs.
