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 major landforms which result from these processes. These include cliffs, shore platforms, coastal karst, bays, headlands, and elevated marine terraces
