Documentation and Analysis of Coastal Processes, Northeast Coast of Brazil.

Abstract

A multidisciplinary investigation was conducted during June and July 1975 to acquire data that would set a basic framework of the physical processes controlling morphology of the northeast coast of Brazil. Detailed field data were taken at two sites along the coast: Aracaju, Sergipe, and Suape, Pernambuco. Analysis of the data and long-term broad-scale data supplied by cooperating Brazilian agencies was conducted for two purposes: to delineate the physical processes and morphology of the coast and to investigate under field conditions the mechanics of specific important coastal processes.
