Research in the Coastal and Oceanic Environment.
Abstract
Progress during the first year of a multidisciplinary study of the coastal environment of a section of the Atlantic Sea Coast (Delaware and adjacent New Jersey and Maryland areas) is summarized. Included are field, laboratory, and theoretical investigations of sedimentary processes, coastal vegetation, tidal marsh soils, wave action and attenuation, air-sea interactions, geological history and marine biology. Correlation of ground observations with high altitude photographic imagery to provide a useful method for the remote characterization of such coastal regions is an important objective. (Author)
