Soft Shore Protection An Environmental Innovation in Coastal Engineering

Soft Shore Protection An Environmental Innovation in Coastal Engineering / edited by Constantine Goudas, George Katsiaris, Vincent May, Theophanis Karambas.

Global warming, melting polar caps, rising sea levels and intensifying wave-current action, factors responsible for the alarming phenomena of coastal erosion on the one hand and adverse environmental impacts and the high cost of 'hard' protection schemes, on the other, have created interes...
