Barman, N.K., Chatterjee, S., Paul, A.K. Coastal Morphodynamics Integrated Spatial Modeling on the Deltaic Balasore Coast, India

Based on the authors’ research findings on the East Coast of India Presents a comprehensive overview of the scientific literature and acknowledges the significant contribution made by pioneering coastal scientists Combines basic research methods and contemporary analysis to investigate complex coastal processes Includes perceptions and sketches, geological background, materials, and coastal processes of the East Coast of India Provides insights into how the coast is formed This book discusses the perceptions and sketches, geological background, materials and coastal processes of the East Coast of India. It also suggests strategies for effectively Springer managing natural coastal processes in these areas. India has a coastline of about 7,516 km 1st ed. 2016, XIX, 110 p. 31 with a variety of coastal extensions, which developed at different time scales, producing 1st illus. in color. edition permanent variations in the morphologies of the coastal areas through hydrodynamic, fluvial, aeolian and terrestrial processes. The book focuses on the Balasore coast, an area drained by three main rivers (the Subarnarekha, the Dugdeugi and the Burahbolong), which impacts the coastal morphodynamic processes of the area and accounts for their multifaceted nature.
