Planning for Climate Change Effects on Coastal Margins
... One of the physical functions of a coastal margin is to absorb the energy generated by waves, any temporary rise in sea level (or storm surge) during storms, and the regular twice-daily dose of tides. In other words, the coast as we see it today is the integrated response of a very dynamic marine e ...
