This book is concerned with the effects of climatic change on the coast and on coastal habitation. It points out that a relatively small rise of sea level may have a strong effect where the coast is low and/or subsiding.

The purpose of this book is to give an introduction to the most important aspects of suspended matter in the aquatic environment: its origin and composition, the concentration distribution, transport and deposition, and the most important physical-chemical-bio logical process that affects suspended matter: flocculation.

Intertidal Deposits: River Mouths, Tidal Flats, and Coastal Lagoons combines the authors personal and professional experience with the mass of available literature to present a cohesive overview of intertidal deposits and the widely diverse conditions of their formation worldwide.

Takes an in-depth, worldwide look at coastal habitation, and the effect of natural and man-made changes on the environment. The text provides case studies of numerous European cities that are both causes and victims of climatic change.

Based on years of research conducted by the author and papers from international experts, this title presents a cohesive overview of intertidal deposits and the widely diverse conditions of their formation worldwide. It includes the influence of water movements, climate, sediment particle characteristics, vegetation, fauna, and man.
