商品描述
This book describes the entire coast and beaches and barrier systems of Australia. It covers the coastal processes and systems that form and impact Australia's 30.000 km coast, 12.000 beaches and 2750 barrier systems. These processes include geology, geomorphology, climate, waves, tides, currents, sediment supply, as well as coastal ecosystems. The coast is divided into tropical northern and southern temperate provinces, within which are seven divisions, 23 regions and 354 coastal sediment compartments each of which is described in detail in the 34 chapters. Within these systems are the full range of wave through tide-dominated beaches and barriers ranging from cheniers to massive transgressive dune systems together with a range of onshore and longshore sand transport systems. This is an up to date reference for the entire coast, its present condition and likely responses to the impacts of climate change.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書描述了澳大利亞的整個海岸、沙灘和障壁系統。它涵蓋了形成和影響澳大利亞30,000公里海岸、12,000個沙灘和2,750個障壁系統的海岸過程和系統。這些過程包括地質學、地貌學、氣候、波浪、潮汐、洋流、沉積物供應以及海岸生態系統。海岸被劃分為熱帶北部和南部溫帶省，內部分為七個區域、23個地區和354個海岸沉積區，每個區域在34章中都有詳細描述。在這些系統中，涵蓋了從波浪主導到潮汐主導的沙灘和障壁，範圍從沙洲到大型的橫向沙丘系統，以及一系列的岸上和沿岸沙子運輸系統。這是一本針對整個海岸的最新參考資料，涵蓋其當前狀況及對氣候變化影響的可能反應。
作者簡介
Andrew Short is a marine scientist specializing in coastal processes and beach morphodynamics. He has degrees from the University of Sydney (BA Hons), University of Hawaii (MA), and Louisiana State University (PhD in Marine Science). He commenced his academic career as an assistant professor in the Coastal Studies Institute at Louisiana State University where he worked on the coasts of north Alaska and Brazil. He then moved to the School of Earth Sciences Macquarie University where he began his intensive study of beach systems around the Australian coast, which ultimately led to the development of the "Australian" beach models in collaboration with his colleague Don Wright. In 1977, he took up a position at the University of Sydney where he remained in the School of Geosciences until 2007.
He has also been visiting professor at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, Utrecht University, the University of Auckland, the University of Ulster, the Universidade Federal Rio Grande (Brazil), and the Universidade Federal do Santa Catarina (Brazil).
He has conducted beach research on the coasts of North and South America, including north Alaska and Hawaii, and Brazil, Europe, New Zealand, Korea, South Africa, and the entire Australian coast. His main area of research and publication is in beach and surf zone morphodynamics, together with related interests in coastal dune and barrier systems, inner shelf morphodynamics, beach hazards and safety, coastal impacts of climate change, and coastal management.
He is presently Honorary Professor in the School of Geosciences at the University of Sydney, Honorary Professorial Fellow in the School of Earth & Environmental Sciences at the University of Wollongong, Senior Coastal Scientist (part-time) with CoastalCOMS.com, and Chair of National Surfing Reserves (Australia). His extensive contribution to both coastal science and beach safety was recognized on Australia Day 2010 with the award of an Order of Australia Medal.
Short has written 10 books, edited 4 books, and has over 200 scientific publications. His last book "Brazilian Beach Systems" covers the entire Brazilian coast and its seventeen coastal states. His most recent project, the "Australia Coastal Sediment Compartments" in collaboration with a small team of 'coastal experts' and funded by the National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility, mapped and described all 354 coastal sediment compartments around the entire Australian coast as well as their likely response to climate change. These compartments form the basis for the present book "Australian Coastal Systems: beaches, barriers and sediment compartments" which is also based on his intimate knowledge of the entire Australian coast: its coastal processes, beaches and barrier systems.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
安德魯·肖特（Andrew Short）是一位專門研究沿海過程和沙灘形態動力學的海洋科學家。他擁有悉尼大學（University of Sydney）的榮譽文學士學位、夏威夷大學（University of Hawaii）的碩士學位，以及路易斯安那州立大學（Louisiana State University）的海洋科學博士學位。他的學術生涯始於路易斯安那州立大學的沿海研究所擔任助理教授，期間他在北阿拉斯加和巴西的海岸進行研究。隨後，他轉到麥考瑞大學（Macquarie University）的地球科學學院，開始對澳大利亞海岸的沙灘系統進行深入研究，最終與同事唐·賴特（Don Wright）合作開發了「澳大利亞」沙灘模型。1977年，他在悉尼大學任職，並在地球科學學院工作至2007年。
他還曾擔任維吉尼亞海洋科學研究所（Virginia Institute of Marine Science）、烏特勒支大學（Utrecht University）、奧克蘭大學（University of Auckland）、阿爾斯特大學（University of Ulster）、巴西聯邦大學（Universidade Federal Rio Grande）和巴西聖卡塔琳娜聯邦大學（Universidade Federal do Santa Catarina）的訪問教授。
他在北美和南美的海岸進行沙灘研究，包括北阿拉斯加、夏威夷、巴西、歐洲、新西蘭、韓國、南非以及整個澳大利亞海岸。他的主要研究和出版領域是沙灘和浪區的形態動力學，並對沿海沙丘和障壁系統、內陸架形態動力學、沙灘危險與安全、氣候變遷的沿海影響以及沿海管理等相關領域有興趣。
他目前是悉尼大學地球科學學院的名譽教授、伍倫貢大學（University of Wollongong）地球與環境科學學院的名譽教授研究員、CoastalCOMS.com的高級沿海科學家（兼職），以及澳大利亞國家衝浪保護區的主席。他對沿海科學和沙灘安全的廣泛貢獻在2010年澳大利亞日獲得了澳大利亞勳章（Order of Australia Medal）的表彰。
肖特已撰寫10本書籍，編輯4本書籍，並擁有超過200篇科學出版物。他的最新著作《巴西沙灘系統》（Brazilian Beach Systems）涵蓋了整個巴西海岸及其十七個沿海州。他最近的項目《澳大利亞沿海沉積物區》（Australia Coastal Sediment Compartments）是與一小組「沿海專家」合作，並由國家氣候變遷適應研究設施資助，對整個澳大利亞海岸的354個沿海沉積物區進行了地圖繪製和描述，並分析了它們對氣候變遷的可能反應。這些沉積物區構成了本書《澳大利亞沿海系統：沙灘、障壁和沉積物區》的基礎，該書也基於他對整個澳大利亞海岸的深入了解，包括其沿海過程、沙灘和障壁系統。
