Bird, Eric C. F. and Christian Christiansen: Coastal progradation as a by-product of human activity: an example from Hoed, Denmark. Geografisk Tidsskrift 82: 1–4. Copenhagen, June 1. 1982. Quarry waste (gravel and sand) dumped on the shore at Hoed, Denmark, has been re-worked by wave action and formed into a beach-ridge plain. Progradation of up to 220 metres has occurred on a 9.5 km sector of coastline, extending 5.5 km north and 4 km south from the dumping area. Historical evidence, supplemented by a modern survey, indicates the pattern of coastline progradation, which was most rapid between 1954 and 1971, when waste dumping was at its maximum
