PDF-Lesson 16: Coastal Dynamics

1 Page Overview Lesson 16 presents some of the natural processes and human activities that shape our coasts The lecture describes different ways of classifying coasts eg active vs pass.

Understand how coastal processes transform the landscape. Examine the landforms created by these coastal processes. FEED. s for these landforms. F. With over four billion people living in coastal areas and the numbers growing rapidly each year, the need to understand and manage these areas is critical. Coastal areas are one of the most dynamic environments on the earth and area being constantly re-shaped by both natural processes and human development. They have both economic and environmental value – and it is these conflicting demands that bring about the need for long-term, sustainable management strategies.. Tsunamis. Homework Questions. Would you live in an area at risk for tsunamis? If so, where?. What level of risk from tsunamis is acceptable to you? (How would you know if the risk was assessed accurately?). By RINL. WELCOME. .

Initiate, facilitate, coordinate, catalyze and implement an integrated coastal development program for the students and young aspirants from the coastal c0mmunity.. OUR TEAM. Jaison. John. (President). Marcia Berman Karinna Nunez Virginia Institute of Marine Science Jason F. Bulluck Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation Division of Natural Heritage Q. What is VEVA? Q. What is VEVA? WHAT IS COASTAL EROSION? Coastal erosion is the endless reshaping of shorelines by waves, currents, tides, storms, ice, rain and groundwater seepage. Human activities, like construction, dredging, CO near tvegetation This description suggests that they fall in the hammock classification In addition residual features of sediment accumulation were identified ine and fused to the mainland at one end Summary. This lesson utilizes the example of healthy estuaries to demonstrate tools scientists use to measure ecosystem health. Students will learn the definition and function of an estuary, an essential coastal ocean ecosystem. Students will then learn methods to measure parameters of large areas using quadrats and subsets. . Interacting Elements of the Coastal System. Types of Coastlines in NZ. Rocky shorelines.
