Title Description

About this title

This volume concerns the application of high-resolution coastal records to developing and testing tectonics models. The case studies are at scales ranging from global to regional and local, and deal with glacio-isostasy, relative sea-level changes and seismic and aseismic crustal deformation at a variety of time scales. Data are drawn from a wide variety of disciplines, including geology, seismology, geodesy, geomorphology, geochronology and archaeology.

The contributions within the book are from leading practitioners of field, laboratory and theoretical aspects of coastal tectonics. They provide a multidisciplinary, international review at a time when satellite monitoring, advanced modelling and sophisticated dating are transforming the subject from a descriptive historical branch of Earth science into a predictive tool addressing real societal needs.

The book will be of interest to a wide audience including academics with an interest in tectonics and/or Quaternary science and professionals involved in seismic hazard or coastal development/protection.
