Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
Fluvio-coastal interactions are examined on a progradational sand, and mixed sand and gravel beach sequence between the Ashley and Kowai rivers, Pegasus Bay, New Zealand. This coastal system presents an example of a wave-dominated environment energetic enough to deal with the sediment supply derived from the rivers, but where the coast is still prograding. Its provides an opportunity to examine a prograding sand and MSG beach sequence in a non-downdrift situation.
