Item description from seller

Print on Demand. The diligent efforts of the National Ocean Service (NOS) and the Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC) have culminated in this comprehensive and meticulously researched book. It delves into the historical evolution of over 200 kilometers of the Atlantic coastline, stretching from Cape Henry in Virginia to Cape Hatteras in North Carolina. Encompassing data collected over 130 years, the book presents a unique and valuable record of shoreline changes in the region. It meticulously analyzes the impact of storms, wind patterns, tides, and coastal structures on the ever-shifting contours of the shoreline. This in-depth investigation provides insights into the natural processes that shape our coasts and the anthropogenic factors that influence their transformation. The author explores the role of inlets in shaping the coastline, examining their opening and closing cycles and their profound impact on sediment transport and island morphology. The book further highlights the significance of barrier island migration and narrowing, alongshore sediment transport reversal, and the influence of capes and shoreface-connected ridges on shoreline change. The book concludes with a discussion of future shoreline predictions, offering a glimpse into the potential trajectories of coastal evolution. By examining past changes and present conditions, it provides valuable insights for coastal managers and policymakers tasked with safeguarding our vulnerable shorelines. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
