Coastal sediments / Прибрежные отложения

The COASTAL SEDIMENTS '07 conference was organized as a technical specialty conference devoted to the physical aspects of sediment processes and morphology change in the coastal and inlet environment. Following previous conferences in the Coastal Sediments series that were held in 1977, 1987, 1991, 1999, and 2003, COASTAL SEDIMENTS'07 celebrated 30 years of the Coastal Sediments series and promoted exchange of information and views among specialists in the fields of coastal engineering, geology, oceanography, and related disciplines. The theme of COASTAL SEDIMENTS '07 was "Coastal Engineering and Science in Cascading Spatial and Temporal Scales," which established the trend of thinking and approach of the conference, as well as determined in part the composition of the papers that were presented. This theme was chosen to stimulate research devoted to the various scales of processes and their interactions at which coastal engineers and scientists must work in developing knowledge and capabilities to assist society in managing the coast under present and future conditions. Emphasis was on papers that recognize and relate to coastal morphology change of long-term consequence <...>
