| Description: |
This text covers investigations of shoal and megaripple migration on the East Frisian tidal deltas, based on experience gained during geomorphological mapping. |
| Synopsis: |
The Wadden Sea area of the North Sea is one which undergoes rapid morphological changes. Under natural conditions, the barrier islands would adjust them--selves to a rising sea level. However, be--cause the islands are densely populated and have an important role as holiday resorts, morphological changes are un--desirable. Coastal engineering counter-measures have been undertaken to pre--vent beach erosion, shifting of tidal in--lets, breaching of dune ridges and land--ward-directed washover. The natural processes and the results of human inter--ference including the negative conse--quences of many of the measures are discussed in detail. The author presents the current state of research, together with the results of his own investigations. In addition, a comprehensive description of the geomorphological development and recent problems of the barrier is--lands from Texel to Fano is given for the first time. The book includes 40 colour photographs and 393 figures, almost all previously unpublished. Sat--ellite and radar imagery as well as many aerial photographs are also included.The book is intended for geomorphologists, sedimentologists, environmentalists and all those with a scientific interest in tidal flats and barrier islands. |
