Coastal dunes represent important natural systems for balancing the beach while providing different functions such as protection against erosion and important ecological niches.
Climate-change impact assessment for inlet-interrupted coastlines
- Environmental Science
- 2013
Climate-driven sea-level rise will result in coastline retreat due to landward movement of the coastal profile. However, coastlines adjacent to tidal inlets will also be influenced by changes in the…
Intervention of Human Activities on Geomorphological Evolution of Coastal Areas: Cases from Turkey
