This publication describes contemporary advances within the morphodynamics of combined sand and gravel Mediterranean coasts, and offers updates and new tools for his or her learn and administration. It assesses how the variations within the geomorphic surroundings, compared to conventional sandy seashores, lead to detailed actual techniques governing the dynamics of those coasts. additional, at the foundation of box measurements, theoretical research and numerical modeling conducted at research websites in southern Spain during the last 15 years, the publication reviews, analyzes and compares those actual techniques and mechanisms. It additionally indicates that the slim and intricate bathymetries and internal cabinets regulate the wave propagation styles and accordingly, the longshore sediment delivery gradients alongside the coast. Given the correlation among the adjustments in those gradients and the coastline evolution through the years, it identifies the complexity of the interior shelf bathymetries because the major motive force of coastal adjustments and describes those approaches intimately utilizing, within the plan view, the inter-annual evolution of unaltered and “altered by way of human” shores. finally, the e-book info how the iteration and next overlapping of berms around the seashore profile are answerable for the sediment variability at intensity and cross-shore, and concludes that the entire run-up (including the water-level) is a extra influential variable than wave top within the erosional/depositional reaction of those beaches.
