Coastal geomorphology into the 1990s

At the beginning of the new decade there are many exciting challenges awaiting coastal geomorphology. Studies on coastal landforms, processes and change are becoming more and more relevant as human intervention (at scales ranging from sand mining on a single beach to global warming) increases. Predictions of the likely impact of such human activities at the coast rely on, amongst other things, geomorphological information and theory. It is perhaps apposite now to consider how prepared geomorphologists are to face these challenges as we approach the end of a turbulent century. There are several ways of assessing the current concerns of coastal geomorphology, all of which provide an imperfect account. Several recent overviews of
