Ninety-two proceedings papers from the 1995 conference reviewing large-scale field and laboratory experiments in the European Community, Japan, the US, and the former Soviet-Bloc countries of Russia, Bulgaria, East Germany, and Poland. These volume particularly features the discussions from those latter countries since most of their experiments have not been, until now, released to the West. In more specific terms, the papers report findings in wave motion in vegetated and non-vegetated coastal zone, surf zone modeling, planform considerations of beach nourishment, swash dynamics, runup, low- frequency motion, longshore currents, cross-shore transport, and profile evolution.

Our world is constantly changing, governed by continuity, dynamic interactions and boundary conditions. For many coasts, the common denominators contributing to these changes are sand, waves, tides, salt gradients, and human interaction, all themes that are treated in this valuable textbook.Confining itself to essentials, the coverage reflects centuries of theoretical and practical knowledge of Dutch coastal engineers. Focussing, where applicable, on linear theory, the book shows how the essentials of local coastal behavior can be reproduced and predicted.

Over 100 field, laboratory, theoretical, and numerical studies focus narrowly on natural shorelines and adjacent regions. They consider such aspects as sand suspension, wave propagation in shallow water, boundary layers and mixing, sediment transport predictors, remote sensing and video, wave-current interaction, longshore currents, beach profiles, rip currents, effects of coastal structures, beach nourishment, morphodynamic modelling, tidal inlets, wave-induced circulation, shingle and mixed grain size, breaking waves, megaripples and bars, nearshore circulation patterns, regional studies, long-term morphodynamics, swash and intertidal, groupiness and long waves, and seabed effects. The reproduced typescripts are in a variety of type styles. Only names are indexed. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
