Intertidal Deposits

Based on years of research conducted by the author and papers from international experts, Intertidal Deposits: River Mouths, Tidal Flats, and Coastal Lagoons presents a cohesive overview of intertidal deposits and the widely diverse conditions of their formation worldwide. This includes the strong influence of water movements, climate, sediment particle characteristics, vegetation, fauna, and man. This book concentrates on the more important intertidal areas distinguished by size and morphology, tidal range, the degree and type of vegetational cover, the amount and type of benthic fauna, the extent of human exploitation, and the degree of previous study.
