By using nuclear and isotopic techniques, scientists can analyse natural environmental archives like marine sediments, shells and corals to create a history of coastal pollution. Contaminants which ...

The size and morphology of coastal dunes is dependent on the complex interaction between controlling winds, sediment supply, and the geomorphology of the nearshore and beach environment.

The movement of sediment into the back beach environment often results in the formation of coastal dunes. Aa Aa Aa For large-scale coastal dune development there needs to be a suitable wind regime ...

Coastal erosion is a natural process where the sea removes sediment and rocks causing the coastal landscape to change shape. Because of climate change, sea-level rise and the increased frequency ...
