This report examines of the relationship between subsurface sediment distribution, profile dynamics, and nearshore processes. Coastal engineers involved with the design of hard structures and the placement of sand for beach nourishment purposes necessarily make certain assumptions and utilize concepts involving profile shape (e.g., equilibrium-profile and nearshore profile closure) and sediment transfer (e.g., onshore-offshore transport). However, much is still unknown concerning the actual nature of bed conditions and sediment transport across the shoreface, especially as it relates to the geometry-based concepts of erosional lower limits, profile closeout, and profile equilibrium. Related to this is the question involving grain size and the amount of sand transported offshore beyond the depth of profile closure during major storm events. In addition, much is still unknown concerning bar morphodynamics, associated fluid processes, and sediment transfer within the nearshore. Study of the internal physical properties of the nearshore zone can provide new and significant information concerning the above topics.

This book presents a comprehensive, contemporary review of tidal environments and deposits. Individual chapters, each written by world-class experts, cover the full spectrum of coastal, shallow-marine and even deep-marine settings where tidal action influences or controls sediment movement and deposition. Both siliciclastic and carbonate deposits are covered. Various chapters examine the dynamics of sediment transport by tides, and the morphodynamics of tidal systems. Several chapters explore the occurrence of tidal deposits in the stratigraphic context of entire sedimentary basins. This book is essential reading for both coastal geologists and managers, and geologists interested in extracting hydrocarbons from complex tidal successions.
This monograph presents the state of art of the geologic knowledge about the Spanish coast obtained through scientific research in the last 30 years.From a general point of view, coasts are the most quickly changing systems of the Earth. This is critical, since many human resources, such as the main part of economic and social activities, are located in the coastal areas. Especially in the case of Spain these coasts include cities, wide industrial areas (including harbor complexes), important ecologic systems, and our main economic resource: tourism. Understanding the dynamic functioning of each element of this coast is vital for correct future coastal management, so as to solve problems derived from bad plans developed in the last decades of the twentieth century. This is a valuable text for advanced graduate students and coastal researchers, which connects the specific dynamic functioning of the main Spanish coastal environments and their relationships with human activities.
