Research in the Coastal and Oceanic Environment.
Abstract
Progress during the second year of a multi-disciplinary study of a section of the Atlantic seacoast is summarized. New knowledge of coastal geology and geologic history has been developed, and the properties of soils sediments in nearshore, beach, and backshore locations have been more fully determined. Continued theoretical investigations of wave action, model studies of sedimentary processes and underground water behavior, and the results of additional observations of vegetative growth and of surface energy exchanges are reported. Future objectives, particularly in the area of coastal zone remote sensing, are outlined. (Author)
