Synopsis

A practical introduction to how waves, currents, and coastal structures shape shorelines over time.

This concise, study-guide style report surveys the key ideas and methods used to model shoreline evolution. It focuses on long-term changes caused by wave-driven currents and the impact of navigation and shore-protection structures. With clear explanations and practical illustrations, it presents a flexible numerical approach designed for engineering use in coastal projects. This edition distills foundational theories, refinements, and important applications to help coastal engineers predict how shorelines respond to design work. It balances theory with engineering practicality, offering a method that can be adapted to real-world coastlines.

• How long-term shoreline change is defined and measured for coastal planning
• Two-line and one-line theories that model sediment transport near groins and headlands
• The role of wave diffraction, diffraction effects, and changing sea levels in shoreline evolution
• Examples and diagrams illustrating equilibrium profiles and dynamic responses

Ideal for readers involved in coastal engineering, design, and land-use planning who need a solid, executable modeling framework for shoreline evolution.
