What Is Coastal Erosion and How Are Geosynthetics Used to Control It?
Coastal erosion is one of the most dynamic, complex and consequential geomorphological processes on Earth. It affects shorelines on every continent, threatening infrastructure, property, agricultural land, natural habitats and human communities. As sea levels rise and storm events intensify, the rate and severity of coastal erosion are expected to increase in many regions, placing greater demands on coastal engineering to protect vulnerable coastlines. Geosynthetic materials ...
