Coastal Erosion Processes and Landforms
Most landforms on rocky coasts are the result of erosion, although these coasts often host a variety of sandy to boulder beaches, as well as functioning as an important source of sediment for adjacent coastal areas. The erosional processes and mechanisms, including mechanical wave erosion, weathering, bioerosion, and various types of mass movement, produce landforms such as bays and headlands, sea cliffs, shore platforms, and arches, stacks, and …

The Geomorphology of Canada
This book is intended as a basic text for first year undergraduates and a continuing source book for more senior students. The Geomorphology of Canada presents a systematic explanation of Canada's landforms, with particular reference to its unique legacy of glacial and periglacial activity. Individual chapters discuss such topics as weathering, mass movement, rivers, coastlines, and karst. An extensive glossary explains terms that may not be fami…
The Geomorphology of Rock Coasts
This reference text deals with the geomorphology of rock coasts. It brings together the results of research conducted by coastal engineers, biologists, geologists and physical geographers from many parts of the world. The first section of the book discusses changes in sea level and the effects of mechanical wave action, chemical weathering, solution, bio-erosion, frost, and mass movement on rock coasts. The second section is concerned with the ma…
Shore Platform Morphology and the Tidal Duration Factor
A simple wave erosional model was used to simulate the profiles of shore platforms in eastern Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Britain. The model assumes that the rate of intertidal erosion is determined by the time that still water level occupies each elevation within the tidal range (the tidal duration factor), by an erodibility factor related to wave energy and rock hardness, by platform gradient, and by the rate of submarine erosion. Simul…
The Shore Platforms of Gaspé, Québec∗
The morphometry of shore platforms is determined by their morphogenic environments. Gaspé, Québec is a mesotidal storm wave environment. Shore platforms are cut into steeply dipping flysch, consisting of shale, graywackes, and argillites. The platforms are quasihorizontal, with a low-tide cliff or low-tide ramp at their seaward termini, and a high-tide ramp at the cliff base. Platform gradient is determined by tidal range, mean platform elevation…
Soil Tongues in the Leamington Moraine, Ontario
W edge ‐shaped soil structures occur in many parts of southern Canada and the northern United States. These have usually been interpreted as being ice‐wedge casts. Yehle (1954), however, has expressed concern over the confusion of fossil ice wedges with features he termed soil tongues, but also referred to as soil pendants (Wright 1961) or podsolschornsteine (Johnsonn 1959). Not only are soil tongues superficially similar to ice‐wedge casts, but …
Cirque Morphometry in the Canadian Cordillera∗
Cirques in the southern Canadian Cordillera are most numerous at lowest elevations and best developed on the north and northeastern flanks of mountains. Cirques at the heads of major valleys are generally at higher elevation, and are larger in area than cirques along the sides of valleys. The elevation frequency distribution is different for various types of cirque. Cirques which are well below mean cirque elevation are large and are almost alway…
The Morphology of a Drumlin Field
Drumlin fields may display morphological characteristics related to the decline of ice velocity and thickness toward the margins of an ice sheet. Trend-surface analysis of two drumlin fields near Guelph, Ontario, suggests that drumlin elongation and size decline toward the margins of the fields, although the variation of drumlin density is less clear. Random disturbance of this pattern results from such local factors as land slope and drift depth…
Cirque Elevation in the Canadian Cordillera
Cirque floors increase in altitude toward the drier eastern parts of the Cordillera in southern British Columbia and Alberta, in a similar manner to the contemporary glaciation limit. Cirque floors are 100 to 400 m below the contemporary snowline. The relatively slight difference in elevation between the contemporary and cirque snowlines may possibly be attributed to a local decline in precipitation which partly compensated for the drop in temper…
The Geometry of Shore Platforms in England and Wales
Platform gradient was investigated in three areas of England and Wales, providing a wide range of morphogenic and geological conditions. A correlation coefficient of 0-92 (n = 36) was obtained for platform gradient against tidal range and one of - o-6o (n = 36) for fetch perpendicular to coastal orientation; analysis of covariance demonstrated that there was little difference in the regression for Liassic limestones and shales and chalk. A furthe…
