The influence of heterogeneous sediment properties on coastal processes is commonly
underestimated due to the difficulty in characterizing and quantifying these types of …

▪ Abstract Recent studies of the morphodynamics of the coastal region are reviewed.
Emphasis is given to idealized models that consider a morphological pattern in isolation …

Sand banks and elongated sand ridges occur in many coastal and shelf seas where there is
abundant sand and where the currents are strong enough to move sediment, but they have …

Publisher Summary This chapter explains the geomorphology and sedimentology of
estuaries. Geomorphology is concerned with the study of earth-surface forms and with their …

The ridge and swale topography of the Middle Atlantic Bight is best developed on the
Delaware‐Maryland inner shelf. Here sand ridges can be seen in all stages of formation …

A computer map** system was employed to document the location of 259 shoreface-
attached and detached sand ridges in water< 20 m deep and the temporal and spatial …

This paper presents a compilation of sedimentary bedforms identified from acoustic and
seismic records collected over the southeastern Canadian continental shelf. In order to …

The purpose of this work is to identify and quantify those stretches in the Buenos Aires
province that present different degrees of risk in view of the rise of the mean sea level and to …

The hydrography of the Argentine continental shelf between 38° and 42° S is presented and
interpreted from historical data (1957–1980) on a 1/2° latitude-longitude grid. The data are …
