Coastal Erosion and Protection in Europe Hardback
Edited by Enzo Pranzini, Allan (Swansea Metropolitan University, UK) Williams
Hardback
Description
Europe has a long history of managing coastal erosion through a variety of protection strategies, from the defences of the Venice lagoons to coastal land reclamation in the Netherlands.
This book provides a comprehensive review of the entire coastline of Europe and a comparative analysis of erosion problems and solutions in each country.
Each chapter discusses the natural and anthropogenic factors in the erosion process and in defence projects design and maintenance, including coastal morphology and wave climate, land use changes and use of coastal areas, the evolution of coastal protection, climate change and political and administrative assessments.
Particular attention is paid to demographic and economic factors influencing coastal erosion in each country and to technical and administrative criteria influencing defence projects design.
Lavishly illustrated in full colour throughout, the book represents a definitive reference work on its subject.
