Geomorphological response of the East Frisian barrier islands to sea-level rise: an investigation of past and future evolution

Auteur :

Description :
Post-glacial sea-level rise has resulted in shoreline erosion in many places. Sandy barrier islands migrate in a landward direction in order to compensate for the rise in sea-level. Several models for the possible response of the East Frisian barrier islands and tidal flats to the Holocene sea-level rise are summarized.
