Call Number	551
Author	Dillenburg, Sérgio R. author.
Title	Geology and Geomorphology of Holocene Coastal Barriers of Brazil by Sérgio R. Dillenburg, Patrick A. Hesp.
Physical Description	XVI, 380 p. 303 illus., 3 illus. in color. online resource.
Series	Lecture Notes in Earth Sciences, 0930-0317 ; 107
Contents	Coastal Barriers – An Introduction -- The Coastal Zone of Brazil -- The Holocene Coastal Barriers of Rio Grande do Sul -- The Holocene Barrier Systems of the Santa Catarina Coast, Southern Brazil -- The Holocene Barrier Systems of Paranaguá and Northern Santa Catarina Coasts, Southern Brazil -- Sedimentology and Morphological Evolution of the Ilha Comprida Barrier System, Southern São Paulo Coast -- Barrier and Beach Ridge Systems of the Rio de Janeiro Coast -- The Holocene Barrier Strandplains of the State of Bahia -- The Mesotidal Barriers of Rio Grande do Norte -- The Holocene Barriers of Maranhão, Piauí and Ceará States, Northeastern Brazil -- The Subsiding Macrotidal Barrier Estuarine System of the Eastern Amazon Coast, Northern Brazil.
Summary	This books presents the first comprehensive overview of the evolution, geology, geomorphology and dynamics of Holocene coastal barriers in Brazil. Following two introductory chapters outlining the coast geology, climate, oceanography, general setting and dynamics, each subsequent chapter deals with the evolution and development of Holocene barriers in each state covering 9,200 kilometers of coastline. The examples cover all tidal types from micro to macro tidal, all wave and wind energies, and virtually every barrier type ranging from barrier islands, spits, strandplains, attached, receded and prograded barriers, climbing, clifftop and falling dunefield barriers and the largest transgressive dunefield barriers in the world. The book has been written by experts in Brazil, and provides a wealth of information previously inaccessible to scientists, students and managers.
