Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the critical issue of coastal erosion and its impact on the vulnerability of coastal communities to flooding. The author delves into the complex interplay of natural forces that shape our shorelines, including storm surges, wave action, and the movement of sediment. By examining the history of coastal research, the book reveals the limitations of existing methods for predicting beach profile change and dune erosion. The author presents a detailed analysis of three prominent models currently used for estimating dune erosion, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. The book then explores the concept of the "equilibrium beach profile," a fundamental concept in current dune erosion models, demonstrating how this principle can be applied to develop a more reliable understanding of coastal erosion. The book's examination of the "Vellinga" and "Kriebel" models provides insights into the feasibility of incorporating quantitative erosion models into the determination of coastal flood zones. The author thoughtfully analyzes the challenges and opportunities associated with integrating these models into existing methodologies for predicting storm events. Ultimately, this book offers a valuable contribution to the field of coastal engineering, underscoring the importance of accurate and comprehensive modeling of coastal erosion for the protection of coastal communities.
