The beach sand is the material base of a sand island. It is not only the home for sea animals, but also the evidence of the forming process of a sand island. Coastal dunes may act as barriers to protect vegetation from the damage by wave and surge. Both of them have important research...
The erosion of the glacial tills along the Holderness Coast (eastern England) has released material which has led to the formation of a 4.5 km sand and gravel spit, Spurn Head, across the mouth of the Humber estuary. This paper examines the sedimentology and geomorphology of the spit and of...
With its long hard-rock coastline, Norway has natural potential for developing coastal aggregate quarries and for the export of substantial amounts of aggregates. The Norwegian Geological Survey (NGU) has extensive databases for the sand, gravel, and crushed-rock aggregates in Norway. There are ...
The Wakayama Plain fill consists, above the basal marine mud bed of Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5e, the sand and gravel bed of late Pleistocene, the sand and mud bed and the sand and gravel bed of Holocene in ascending order (Kansai Geo-information Research Committee, KG-NET, 2011; Cho ...
Other industries were also located along the coast, either because the raw materials outcropped there or for ease of working and transport: mineral resources such as sand, gravel, stone, coal, ironstone, and alum were all exploited. These industries are poorly documented, but their remains are ...
longshore currents from the north and south sides of the mountain converged to form an enormous V-bar spit consisting of vast amounts of well-sorted sand and gravel. Studies of the geomorphology, sedimentary structures, and lithology of the spit were used to develop an estimation of predominant...
aquifer [121,122]. The sub-water dams are most practicably used in areas with 1°–5° slope [123]. According to their study, the subsurface barriers are favorably built in the sites with greater hydraulic conductivity like deep alluvial layers, riverbeds with sand and gravel and weathered ...
The study deals with a large sand body (spit-bar) attached to the eastern tip of the Robberg Peninsula, Plettenberg Bay, South Africa. To date, the bar has
Physiographi- cally, they occupy coastal promontories of hard rock landforms and, infrequently, consolidated sand and gravel, exposed to the maritime influences of persistent wind and heavy salt deposition. They have been reported from parts of the New Zealand mainland's central and southern coastal...
