Description:
Intertidal flats form an integral and important part of coastal systems, which have for centuries been usefully exploited by man for communication, transportation,waste disposal, power generation and amenity development. They provide an indispensable feeding ground for many species of shorebirds, play a vital role in protecting the shoreline against erosion by wave action, and they act as both a source and sink to sediments and pollutants and are therefore intrinsically related to the ecological health of the system as well as its geomorphology. It is thus important that we monitor these environments, and build up a comprehensive picture of the dynamic processes that have produced and now modify these environments. This book brings together geoscientists, chemists and biologists working on the intertidal zones of European estuaries and coasts.Also available: Evaporites Through Space and Time (Geological Society Special Publication 285) - ISBN 9781862392328 Alluvial Fans: Geomorphology, Sedimentology, Dynamics (Geological Society Special Publication 251) - ISBN 1862391890 The Geological Society of LondonFounded in 1807, the Geological Society of London is the oldest geological society in the world, and one of the largest publishers in the Earth sciences.The Society publishes a wide range of high-quality peer-reviewed titles for academics and professionals working in the geosciences, and enjoys an enviable international reputation for the quality of its work.The many areas in which we publish in include:-Petroleum geology-Tectonics, structural geology and geodynamics-Stratigraphy, sedimentology and paleontology-Volcanology, magmatic studies and geochemistry-Remote sensing-History of geology-Regional geology guides
