    Extractions: Increased flood and storm damage ... Additional Resources This webpage was created by Stacey Archfield Hazards of Sea Level Rise: An Introduction Sea level is rising worldwide and is caused by both natural and human factors. Most research indicates that sea level is rising approximately 2mm/yr. Although 2 mm/yr. seems to be a relatively small amount of change, a small increase in sea level can have devastating effects. Other factors such as glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) are causing coastal lands to sink, increasing the rate of sea level rise for those areas. Fortunately, in some areas of the world, GIA is causing land to rise allowing for some compensation to rising sea level. Since greater than 75 percent of the human population will live within 60 km of a coast by 2000 [Michener et al., 1997], it is important that the effects of any change in sea level rise are studied. There is no physical capacity that humans have to protect against long term sea level rise. The key to coping with sea level rise is education of the effects and accurate assessments of hazards for given points in time. In this way, humans can act decisively and appropriately to minimize loss of life, and economic and ecological impacts. Education is the only long-term, far-reaching solution to sea level rise. Sea level has fluctuated by an order of 100 meters over the last 18,000 years [Michener et al., 1997]. Global sea level can change due to three factors: 1-Change in the volume of the ocean basins, 2-Expansion or shrinking of ocean water due to changes in climate and 3-Periods of worldwide glacial advance and retreat [Davis, 1997]. Human impact has no control over changing the volume of the ocean basins. However, the greenhouse effect can cause the ocean to gather thermal inertia that will heat the continents and slowly melt the polar ice caps, increasing sea level worldwide [Michener et al., 1997].

Photo © 1999 by Ray Wheeler Geomorphology is the study of the forms of the Earth's surface and of the processes that mold them. More recent geologic features - sand dunes, rivers, soils, lake basins, and alluvial fans, to name a few - are in most cases still undergoing formational processes. The response of these features to recent changes in climate and land use makes geomorphology an important tool for understanding our changing global climate and the effects of our increasingly intensive use of the landscape.

    Extractions: and the Association of Polish Geomorphologists The purpose of the Landform Analysis is to publish articles of high scientific or practical interest in any aspects of geomorphological studies. Language of the journal is English. Publication is free of page charge and author will receive free 25 offprints of the paper plus one copy of a particular volume. The Editorial Board would particularly welcome the submission of papers not yet published. However, in certain cases papers published originally in other languages than English will also be taken into consideration. It is intended to enable dissemination of scientific achievements of scientists from non English speaking countries (e.g. from Central and Eastern Europe). Join the Landform Analysis as an author and a reader! Home Volumes Editorial Board Submission Comments Aims and scope Cele i zakres Landform Analysis publishes original scientific works which concern all aspects of geomorphology. The works which considerably reach beyond geomorphological studies (e.g. stratigraphy, lithology, chemical composition of deposits, computer models, cartographic and remote sensing problems) will not be published if they are not associated with analysis of landforms, their evolution, morphogenetic processes and new methods in geomorphology.

Phot © 1996 Ray Wheeler The land surface holds more recent geologic history frozen in stone. There are petrified sand dunes and ripple marks, inverted valleys, entrenched river meanders, and whole forests of petrified trees. Asked by the National Park Service to identify potential "Natural Landmarks" on the Colorado Plateau, two teams of geologists dashed into the field like starving children let loose in a candy store, and returned with a list of no fewer than 110 sites which deserve national recognition as classic displays of geologic phenomena. "In no other province in America," they wrote in their report, "are the relationships between morphology and geology more clearly or graphically revealed."

    Extractions: Introduction Geomorphology Raster data files Vector data files ... Images Geomorphology Text Outline The Bathymetry of Lake Michigan [return to top of document] Bathymetry has been compiled using the entire array of good-quality historical hydrographic soundings collected in support of nautical charting over a 120-year period by the NOAA National Ocean Service and its predecessor agency for Great Lakes surveying, the Army Corps of Engineers. More than 600,000 bathymetric soundings were employed, of which approximately 60 per cent were already in digital form, 25 per cent were digitized in conjunction with this effort, and the remaining 15 per cent were available only on paper survey sheets. Density of tracklines is generally about 2000m for the open lake and ranges from 200m to 600m for nearshore areas. Soundings collected since 1903 were already reduced to the Lake Michigan mean low water datum; these were used for bathymetric contouring without further calibration or adjustments. Soundings collected prior to 1903 were reduced to the mean low water datum. In preparation for bathymetric contouring, digital soundings were converted to metric units and plotted in color; separate colors were assigned to the various depth ranges. From the paper sheets, contours in metric units were generated directly on overlays; these contours were then reduced to the compilation scale of 1:250,000 and incorporated into the map. Compilation sheets were then scanned and vectorized; and the resulting digital vector bathymetric contour data were used to generate the imagery shown on the large color plate. Images were constructed using the publicly-available software

80. Coastal PR
    Introduction to the terminology and major research fields of coastal geomorphology, from the Geological Oceanography Program of the University of Puerto Rico.  
    http://rmocfis.uprm.edu/~morelock/cstln.htm
    
    Extractions: The character of shorelines results from the geological factors that set the stage and the physical processes that script the present story. To understand the development of coastal landforms, we must consider such things as tidal influences, wave climate, rock resistance, shoreline configuration and offshore bathymetry. The coast is a meeting place of energies in which rivers carry sediment to the sea where it is redistributed by marine processes. If the waves and currents cannot keep pace with the sediment supply, then deltas, bars, and other depositional features build the coast seaward. Where marine forces are stronger, the sediments are distributed across the shelf. This chapter attempts to integrate short- and long-term factors into an understanding of why our world's coastlines are the way they are today. Once an overall view has been presented, we discuss the individual environments that are part of today's coastlines ( i.e. , beaches, estuaries). And finally, we discuss the ever-changing coastal landscape, focusing first on natural changes and then on how man fits (or doesn't) into this as either a passive inhabitant or an active player trying to control his surroundings. The world's coastlines are comprised of a variety of complex environments that are controlled by geologic setting, sediment supply and local physical processes. Dividing coastal environments for the sake of discussion is difficult because such features as beaches, dunes, tidal flats, and marshes are often part of a larger system that is best understood in its entirety rather than by examining its components. On the other hand, it is impractical to discuss all possible combinations. As a compromise, the individual components are described, within a discussion of the more important depositional systems that they can make up. It is important to remember that each section of coastline is part of a larger coastal mosaic, the behavior of which is the result of interactions. By necessity, an extensive literature is covered in very few pages. The reader wanting more details is referred especially to the book by Davis
