As demonstrated by the June 2016 event in southeastern Australia, storm wave directions that significantly enhance the degree of wave energy reaching the coast can lead to a major increase in episodic beach erosion, even when the absolute storm wave intensities of the event are comparably moderate....
. The soils of the peninsula, like the rock types and the topography, are highly mixed and varied. Most of the best soils there are of brown forest type or of red or yellow loess (an unstratified wind-borne loamy deposit). There has been serious soil erosion, and skeletal soils occur ...

Local politics at Byron Bay on Australia's east coast have led to misunderstanding and misrepresentation of the likely effects of climate change on sea-level and coastal erosion. A voting bloc of self proclaimed "green" members of the local government authority (LGA) has adopted policies and pla...
Possible relationships between SGD and sea grass distributions were reported from the coastal zone near Perth, Australia, and in the coastal northeastern Gulf of Mexico. However, it is also clear that wide areas of the world have little to no SGD assessments at all. A few studies have been ...
were exposed. It then rose, reaching present sea level around 6,000 years ago, after which it was relatively stable. Now, with climate change, it is beginning to rise again, and may rise as much as 1 m over the next 100 years, triggering shoreline retreat, inundation, and erosion. ...
enclosed troughs in the bed of the western channel. The channel has been shaped by the effect upon its rock strata (with their varying degrees of hardness) of such forces as weathering and erosion (when much of the area was dry land), sea-level changes, and contemporary erosion anddepositi...
We find that the overall surface of eroded land is about 28,000 km2, twice the surface of gained land, and that often the extent of erosion and accretion is in the order of km. Anthropogenic factors clearly emerge as the dominant driver of change, both as planned exploitation of coastal ...
Located along State Route 1 north of Jenner in Sonoma Coast State Park, this project will complete a micro-realignment inland to address bluff erosion that undermines the roadway. The project delivers on the Department’s commitment to address long-term adaptation needs for the northern roadway ti...
