Some of the actions related to the presence of plastics in the marine environment are mechanic and comprehend: (1) deposition in the seabed, (2) non-native species proliferation, (3) entanglement and (4)ingestion; with more attention from the general public and the media to the last two on...

then it wouldn’t be pithy). But one item worth explaining a bit more here was a brief trip toWrightsville Beach, which is a barrier island was just east of Wilmington. Dr. Doug Gamble, a geography professor in the UNCW Department of Geography and Geology, offered to take me there just...
Short definition: Coastal areas arelocal administrative units (LAUs) that are bordering or close to a coastline. A coastline is defined as the line where land and water surfaces meet (border each other). What is the geography like in the Coastal Plains?
Despite their value, coastal ecosystems are globally threatened by anthropogenic impacts, yet how these impacts are driven by economic development is not well understood. We compiled a multifaceted dataset to quantify coastal trends and examine the role of economic growth in China's coastal degradation...
(Supplementary Information Tables S1, S2, Fig. S2). No lithostratigraphic change was observed at the Allerød-Younger Dryas boundary, while the Younger Dryas-Holocene boundary was established near the transition from sandy silt to carbonate gyttja (Fig.2). The general standard definition of ...
The key processes involved in coastal morphological changes are a loop of erosion, transport, storage, and deposition of sediment. Coastal erosion, which can be understood as land loss, landward movement of the shoreline, or a reduction in beach volume, is most likely to cause coastal flooding...
At the temporal scale considered in this work, we identified cases of "permanent" instability in the stretch between Ardivachar and Vorran Island: the low lands between the beach and vegetated dunes appeared to alternate between being covered by aeolian sand depositions and vegetation. On the ...
