Coastal Dynamics

Contains 118 papers that were presented at the Fifth Coastal Dynamics International Conference held in Barcelona, Spain from April 4-8, 2005. This work deals with the coexistence of scales and the role played in episodic events. It covers Bed/Suspended Fluxes; Coarse to Silt Sediments; Morphodynamics in Various Environments; and more.

Coastal zones are a fragile and dynamic type of environment supporting, particularly in developed countries, a large number of conflicting uses. Because of this, the dynamics of the coastal zone play a key role to make diagnostic and to mitigate coastal zone problems. The Coastal Dynamics international conferences emphasize the need to analyze all processes and scales of coastal dynamics using field and laboratory data together with numerical and theoretical tools. ""Coastal Dynamics 2005"" specifically deals with the coexistence of scales and the role played in episodic events. It contains 118 papers that were presented at the Fifth Coastal Dynamics International Conference held in Barcelona, Spain from April 4-8, 2005. Topics include: Bed/Suspended Fluxes; Coarse to Silt Sediments; Morphodynamics in Various Environments; Sediment Fluxes with and without Structures; and the Interaction with Climactic Drivers and Coastal Structures at Various Scales.
