A short, simplified synthesis of some results obtained over the period 1979-1982 from a study of beach and surf zone dynamics is presented. The report deals with the different natural beach states, the process signatures associated with these states, state dependent modes of beach erosion, the status of predicting wave and surf-induced sediment suspension, environmental controls on modal beach state, and the temporal variability of beach state and beach profiles. Hydrodynamic processes and the relative contributions of different mechanisms to sediment transport and morphologic change differ dramatically as functions of beach state, that is depending on whether the surf zone and beach are reflective, dissipative or in one of the several intermediate states. Depending on beach state, near bottom currents show variations in the relative dominance of motions due to: incident waves, subharmonic oscillations, infragravity oscillations, and mean longshore and rip currents.

A highly readable book on the nature of beaches, including thedynamics of the shoreface, surf, swash and backbeach, and globallyat the regional variations in beach systems from the tropics to thepoles. The beach and adjacent shoreface are the most dynamic part of theEarth's surface. They represent a narrow zone where waves, tidesand winds continously interact, producing, wherever sediment isavailable, hundreds of thousands of kilometres of beach systems.Beaches are also the focus of intense pressure from users anddevelopers, and for these reasons alone a knowledge of beachsystems and their morphodynamics is critical to their sustainablemanagement. This book is the first to: * provide an in-depth and holistic view of beach systems, lookingboth in detail at the different beach zones and globally at rangeof parameters influencing regional variation * examine the relationship between beaches and ancillary dunesystems and includes chapters on beach ecology, safety,stratification and barrier evolution. The book is designed for use in the classroom and the office, beingaimed at university level students and coastal professioanls.

Previous empirical analyses of short-term beach and surf zone morphodynamic response to changing breaker conditions are extended to examine the additional roles played by daily tide range and incident wave groupiness. Complex demodulation of original tide and wave time series from the moderate energy Narrabeen Beach, Australia, resulted in new time series of daily tide range and a daily grouping factor which expresses the relative amplitude of the alternation between groups of high and low waves. Using these new time series together with time series of daily beach state and of the parameter Omega = (H sub b)/(w sub s)T, statistical analyses were performed to determine the contributions made by each factor in explaining time-varying beach state. Eigenvector analyses of monthly surveyed beach and surf zone profiles provided a set of time series on modes of profile configuration change which were also analyzed to determine the relative effects of Omega and tide range on profile shape. Both tide range and groupiness are significant determinants of beach state. The six beach states are: reflective, low-tide terrace, transverse bar and rip, rhythmic bar and beach, longshore bar trough, and dissipative.

The present treatise provides a survey of the vegetation of coastal marshes, dunes and littoral zones in eastern Canada. The introductory chapters present the physiogeographical conditions maritime Canada, from southern Labrador, Newfoundland, to Nova Scotia and the southern shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. In addition, areal maps (fig. 11-46) and localities of diagnostic and floristically important taxa are presented mainly for the hitherto floristically little studies island of Newfoundland. The introduction to the methodology, the floristic surveys and to the syntaxonomic evaluation and identification of vegetation units is followed by an analysis of the vegetation of the dunes and littoral fringe zones emphasizing the following aspects : physiography, physiognomy, syndynamics, synecology, synsystematics, synchorology, economic importance and conservation.

This is a comprehensive reference text for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and instructors and working professionals in the coastal field. It provides a thorough survey of a present state of geomorphological knowledge across a very broad spectrum of coastal types, including topics, such as the form and processes operating on cold coasts, deltas, cohesive cold coasts, and coral reefs, that have rarely been included in general coastal texts. There is also a detailed discussion on the nature, origin, and transport of beach sediment, and the possible effects of future sea-level changes on coastal environments. Anthropological influences and managerial implications are discussed in several of the chapters. All the material draws upon up-to-date research and scientific findings.
