Depositionalcoastal landforms, in both marine and lacustrine settings, contain various accretionary and erosional elements that are created through the interaction of wind, wave, tidal, riverine, and/or other geologic processes. These regions are characterized by beaches, dunes, barriers, deltas, strand...

Coastal landform units were mapped based on process of their evolution such as beach landforms including sandy beach, cusp, berm, scarp, beach terrace, upland, rockyshore, cliffs, wave-cut notches and wave-cut platforms; and the fluvial landforms. Comprising of alluvial plain, flood plains, and...
Intertidal environments are gently sloped surfaces lying as a buffer zone between land and sea. They are perpetually evolving coastal landforms which are primarily located in tide-dominated environments and sheltered coastal embayments (Gao2019; Klein1985). Likewise other coastal features, intertidal fl...
Discussion Nature-based Solutions can mitigate coastal wetland vulnerability to SLR by leveraging on ecogeomorphic feedbacks between flooding, vegetation, organic matter accretion, and sediment deposition. Restored wetlands may be lower in the tidal frame than natural ones, because of erosion or soil ...
Southern Kyushu coastal area presented here is most suitable for constructing a model for catastrophic change in coastal landforms, because some Quaternary gigantic calderas and intra-caldera volcanoes are characteristically developed in the southern Kyushu coastal area. They have resulted in various modes...
cliffs in Gunungkidul can be defined as coastal landforms that border the shore and are close to the water. The geomorphological processes that result from the raising of the Gunungkidul karst hills and the resulting wave action shape the characteristics of the coastal type. The morphodynamics that...
surface. Apparent exposure ages will represent the timing of last deglaciation only if nuclide concentrations, which potentially accumulated in the erratics during previous exposure periods, were below detection levels at the time of deposition and if erratics escaped self-shielding by post-depositional...
Various heterogeneous ecosystems embodied in the coastal systems are dynamic in nature and have been threatened in recent times by the huge impact of urbanization and industrialization. Theoretically, inputs (marine, geological, atmospheric, and people), processes (deposition, erosion, and weathering),...
Large-scale engineering projects such as the construction of water supply dams and irrigation systems as well as production activities such as beach sediment mining, are altering the coastal landforms and accelerating coastal erosion, particularly in the west of the city (Appeaning Addo, 2011). ...
