  • of the extent to which limpets contribute directly to the erosion of the Sussex chalk platforms.
  • Cliff ; Coastal environment ; Coastal geomorphology ; Coastline ; Geomorphometry ; Remote sensing ; Shore platform ; Slovenia
  • In the paper relations between width of shore platform, height of the coastal cliffs and its inclination are analysed. The study was based on profiles of the Slovenian coast obtained by remote sensing. Results show that the width of shore platform
  • decreases while the cliff height increases. The inclination of coastal cliffs reflects combination of rock resistance and transport intensity of accumulated material. The increasing of cliff inclination corresponds to increase of shore platform width. - (IKR)
  • The development of subhorizontal shore platforms by waves and weathering in microtidal environments
  • Coastal environment ; Coastal erosion ; Intertidal zone ; Model ; Shore platform ; Wave ; Weathering
  • A mathematical wave and weathering model was used to study the formation of subhorizontal platforms in microtidal environments. Backwearing (horizontal erosion) rates by wave erosion were calculated for different tidal levels using basic wave
  • The geomorphology of the Coastal Platform in the southern Cape
  • Cenozoic ; Coastal environment ; Cretaceous ; Duricrust ; Fault ; Geomorphogenesis ; Quaternary ; Shore platform ; South Africa
  • The Coastal Platform is the dominant geomorphic feature of the southern Cape, south of the Cape Fold Belt. The southern Cape coast has served, no-shore as well as off-shore, as an important sediment sink, since the mid-Cretaceous
  • Tidal wetting and drying on shore platforms : an experimental study of surface expansion and contraction
  • Basalt ; Canada ; Clay rock ; Coastal environment ; Erosion cycle ; Experimentation ; Intertidal zone ; Quebec ; Shore platform ; Tide ; Weathering
  • This paper reports on an experimental investigation of short- and long-term variations in the water content of intertidal rocks of shore platforms in eastern Canada : it is concerned only with alternate wetting and drying although similar

  • Block removal and step backwearing as erosion processes on rock shore platforms: a preliminary case study of the chalk shore platforms of south-east England
  • Carbonate rock ; Coastal environment ; Coastal erosion ; England ; Geographical information system ; Photogrammetry ; Shore platform ; South-East England ; United Kingdom
  • A combination of soft copy photogrammetry, ortho-rectification, geo referencing and field measurement of step height are linked in a GIS environment to measure step retreat on chalk shore platforms at sample sites in the south of England over 2
  • periods, 1973–2001, 2001–2007. The methods used allow for the identification, delineation and measurement of historic change at high spatial resolution. The results suggest that while erosion of chalk shore platforms by step backwearing is highly variable
  • , it appears to be of similar magnitude to surface downwearing of the same platforms measured by micro-erosion meters (MEMs) and laser scanning. Results from the more recent years' data suggests that step retreat has variability in both space and time which

  • Shore platform morphology and the tidal duration factor
  • C 14 dating ; Coastal environment ; Galicia ; Inherited features ; Interglacial ; Marine quaternary ; Model ; Sea level ; Shore platform ; Spain
  • A shore platform on the western coast of Galicia in northwestern Spain has been inherited from interglacial stages when sea level was similar to today. The wide, gently sloping intertidal platform is backed in places by supratidal rock ledges
  • , and in other places by a steeper and narrower supratidal ramp. The morphological and sedimentary evidence suggests that the supratidal ramp and ledges were also formed during the last interglacial stage, whereas the wider intertidal platform is probably
  • the product of several older interglacials. A general model is proposed for the inheritance of shore platforms in macro- and microtidal environments.
  • Tidal wetting and drying on shore platforms : an experimental assessment
  • Canada ; Coastal environment ; Experimentation ; Intertidal zone ; Ontario ; Quebec ; Shore platform ; Tide ; Weathering
  • the igneous and metamorphic rocks of Ontario. Sandstones from a sloping platform in the macrotidal Bay of Fundy and argillites from a horizontal, mesotidal platform in Gaspé, Québec were the most susceptible rock types. The results suggest that downwearing

  • Bibliography ; Biogenic process ; Climatic change ; Coastal dynamics ; Coastal environment ; Erosion ; Erosion rate ; Geological structure ; Numerical model ; Shore platform ; Wave ; Weathering
  • This paper reviews the research on shore platforms since 1980. It was principally in the 1980s that there was a change in the research paradigm, from qualitative observations to quantitative analyses. Laboratory simulation of platform morphodynamics
  • received limited attention. To enable a better understanding of platform dynamics in a particular area, fieldwork, laboratory simulation and numerical modelling should be carried out simultaneously. Shore platforms are a global feature, and their study
  • Investigating landslide-related cracks along the edge of two loess platforms in northwest China
  • Cracks are widely developed along the edge of loess platforms in northwest China. Field surveys reveal that these cracks can be grouped into shallow and deeply penetrating ones. The former occur at a small distance from the platform edge, normally
  • penetrate into the top unsaturated loess with the penetration depth being controlled by the joints in loess. The latter penetrate deeper into the saturated loess farther away from the platform edge. These cracks control the inflow and drainage of irrigation
  • water. A full-scale field test simulating irrigation on the platform surface was conducted. The 2 types of crack can be interconnected so that the water applied in the test finally flowed into the deep crack and was discharged from the platform. Analysis

  • Several tectonic regularities of oil and gas genesis and accumulation have been found out by comparing single platform regions to pre-riphaeic and pre-Upper Paleozoic crystalline. It is pointed out that hydrocarbons could by accumulated already

  • The Pakość Reservoir was created in 1975, by a raising of the levels of two lakes located in the Noteć valley. After 25 years of exploitation, the shoreline platform of the Pakość reservoir is in the initial phase of development. This thesis

  • Coast erosion in Northeast Ireland :―Part II : Cliffs and shore platforms

  • This paper summarises the erosion of the « hard » coast (cliffs and shore platforms) of northeast Ireland, between Portstewart, Co. Londonderry and Larne, Co. Antrim. Although there is abundant evidence of localised coastal changes
  • Two types of platform plains - mobile and relatively stable are distinguished according to the rate of neotectonic geomorphic processes and position of endogenous sources of energy. Mobile areas are vast marginal parts of platforms up to hundreds
