The Azov-Black Sea Coast of Russia?An Experience of Artificial Beach Formation
There is a tendency in modern cost protective engineering to expand the scales of artificial beach formation. The first sandy beach was filled in 1971 in Gelendzhik Bay. In 1982 wide scale...
Coast Dynamics and Coast-Protective Measures on the Crimean Black Sea Coast
The main data on hydro- and lithodynamics of the Crimean Black Sea coast are presented. The principal coast-protecting measures are described as used on various coast sections. The construction...
South Coast of the Crimea: Environmental Specificity and Coast Protection Problems
Climate conditions and geological structure of the Crimean South coast are described in this paper. Morphometrical data on submerged coast slope are given. Today, out of 100 km of the...
State-of-the-Art and Dynamic of Some Beaches of the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast
The considerable decrease of the solid flow off in the sea coastal zone and the intensification of the abrasion impact on the shore determined the increase of the coastal protection activity...
Wave Climate Studies Along the Turkish Coast of the Black Sea
Wind-generated waves produce the most powerful forces to which coastal structures are subjected. Therefore, wave information is required for the proper planning and reliable design of...
Bulgarian Coastal Management
This paper responds to the call of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development for sustainable and economically-sound development and use of the world's natural resources....
Beach Evolution and Protection
This paper investigate the evolution of beaches and the effect of different types of protection on this process. The cross-shore and longshore sediment transport, and the different approaches...
Detached Breakwaters for Beach Protection
This paper investigates detached breakwaters for beach protection. The equilibrium beach profile, onshore-offshore transport, and longshore sediment transport are also discussed. The Nile...
The Southern North Sea Functional Uses and Institutional Arrangements
The southern North Sea is bordered by the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany and Denmark. The North Sea basin and its adjacent shorelines are intensively used. Managements...
The Shaping of the French-Belgian North Sea Coast Throughout Recent Geology and History
The present-day French-Belgian North Sea coastal barrier and coastal plain were shaped after the last Ice Age, when especially between 10,000 and 5,000 years ago the global sea level underwent...
Morphology of the Danish North Sea Coast
The Danish North Sea coast consists of several elements:-the headland coast of northern Jutland, with long uninterrupted sandy beaches; -the vulnerable, sandy western coast, with several...
The Morphology of the Anglian Coast
The morphology of the Anglian coast consists of three Integrated Scale Coastal Evolution (ISCE) units. A bay, marked by the 10m bathymetric contour, extends from Flamborough in the north...
Morphology of the Southern North Sea Coast from Cape Blanc-Nez (F) to Den Helder (NL)
The southeastern North Sea coast of France, Belgium and the Netherlands (up to Den Helder) is characterized by coastal dunes, sandy beaches and a shallow, gently shoreface. In the Delta...
Water Quality Management in the Southern North Sea
