Plum Island Residents Fighting a Losing Battle Throughout history man has built homes along the shorelines of the sea. We built fishing villages to provide sustenance to our people. Life on the seacoast has shifted from one of necessity of sustainability to one of luxury. Though some local people still making a living by harvesting the fruit of the sea these folks are far from living in the lap of luxury. The fact is the “average” person cannot afford to build an oceanfront home. Many of these

Beach Erosion on Long Beach Island and the Grand Strand Earth 111 ------------------------------------------------- Abstract Long Beach Island is a barrier island located approximately one mile off of the southern coast of New Jersey. The island in some areas is only a half-mile wide‚ with some areas‚ which are even narrower. Therefore‚ coastal erosion and flooding are both major concerns for the residents. Most of the island’s eighteen miles of beaches have experienced significant damage

told me that winter was here . The Oregon Dunes came from the coast range and is carried to the coast by the Umpqua River. Summer winds from N/NW and in the winter from S or SW and up to 100mph in storms. The Dunes are also on the move but the imported bushes/shrubbery (I can’t remember the name and I’ve looked!) hold the dunes in place by stabilizing the sand. Also we learned about saltation. Wind moves in one direction picking up fine particles of sand and blowing them in the direction of the wind

Save the Sea Turtles Laura Jo Dethloff English/215 July 23‚ 2012 Donna Strong Traveling the seas by day and night are the ancient sea creatures known as sea turtles. The deep blue waters are full of them from leatherbacks to loggerheads‚ and many more. The 100- pound enormous creatures are threatened or endangered at the hand of humans every day. With the tragic problems the world face today it is a wonder that people consider saving these animals. Environmental conservatives

numerous sand sheets and sand dunes in numerous patterns. All of the dune fields occur within or near topographic depressions. This fact must be explained in any theory regarding the origin of the sand and the evolution of dune forms in space and time. Two other important observations must also be taken into account. The first is that wind in this desert moves towards the south during most of the year‚ except where it is locally affected by topographic prominences. The second is that sands in these

acknowledging the strategies in place‚ I graded their effectiveness and considered the human and environmental impacts. I investigated the issue concerning coastal erosion by doing some firsthand work at Collaroy Beach and Long Reef and by some secondary research. Some of the first hand work included calculating the slope of the sand and some of the secondary source included comparing old photographs with more recent ones and also doing some internet research. I believe that some of my alternatives

(El-Saied et al.‚ 2015). The soil of Siwa consists primarily of particles of limestone and sandstone derived from the walls and the floor of the Siwan depression or carried by the winds. It contains small amounts of clay (about 6.9%)‚ larger proportions of sand (59%) and large amounts of soluble matter. The amount of sodium chloride found in Oasis soils ranges from about 0.12% to 59.12% (El-Saied et al.‚

are some specific types of depositional environments? Continental Sedimentary Environments Glacial: deposits may have wide range of grain sizes (poorly sorted). Fluvial (river): mostly sand‚ better (not perfectly) sorted) Lacustrine (lake): muddy‚ thin layers on lakebed Aeolian (wind blown): silt and sand dunes produces thick crossbeds; best sorted Marine (Nearshore) Sedimentary Environments (Transitional) Deltas:

the vegetation to the area by either culling them or simply removing them. Humans may also stabilise sand dunes as a method of interception allowing vegetation such as Marram Grass to thrive. This factor overall can be very positive; predator control (although it is preventing the climax community forming) allows rare ecosystems such as heather moorland to thrive and through stabilising the sand dunes vegetation is allowed to reach climatic climax continuing to Oak Woodland‚ this occurs in Ainsdale
