Monitoring the Coastal Environment
Geology, 1974The coast is a vital area for environmental monitoring because of its importance to man. The morphology, material, and processes of the coastal environment can be monitored by making beach profiles and maps; measuring size, shape, and roundness of beach material and noting its mineralogy and location; and recording waves, currents, and winds.

It is the purpose of this book to present a general account of the ecology not only of the coast itself—that is the land next to the sea including the intertidal zone—but also of its adjacent coastal waters. In particular it is hoped to introduce the reader to coastal phenomena and their underlying causes through description and explanation of ...

Several different types of computer models have been proposed to explain the development and evolution of coastal features. In most coastal studies, a profile or map forms a geometric model that provides a framework for more complex theoretical models.

Sensing the coastal environment
2003Abstract The spatial and temporal dynamics of near-shore ecosystems are being studied by the Conrad Blucher Institute for Surveying and Science at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi with special consideration of episodic events associated with anthropogenic activity.

Beaches and Coastal Environments
2011This chapter summarizes the rationale for using microbial source tracking (MST) methods at beach sites and coastal water bodies (Sect. 20.1), as MST methods are especially useful for evaluating waters impacted by nonpoint sources of pollution. This chapter also describes the most common traditional and alternative MST markers used at beach sites (Sect.

Marine and coastal environments
2010New remote sensing challenges arise from the addition of the water column to the remote sensing signal. At the same time, new opportunities for use of remotely sensed data are possible in the marine environment. Marine environments can have organisms in such great abundance that they are readily monitored using remote sensing.
