COASTAL SAND DUNES OF TANEGASHIMA ISLAND

Geographical Review of Japan, 1971
On the Tanegashima Island, to the southwest of Japan, marine terraces are widely deve-loped and formations of coastal dunes also are extensively noticed on all the periphery of the island. Aeolian sands of this island are classified into several groups from the view point of stratigraphic feature in the deposits.

Study of the use of dredged sand as an alternative to beach sand and coastal dunes for coastal preservation

, 2022
Abstract The need for construction sand needs to increase due to the increase in population. The use of dunes and coastal sand disfigures shorelines and the consequences are alarming. It is therefore necessary to consider replacing these resources with other more ecological ones. Hence the purpose of this article.
