Introduction -- Beach and inlet systems under different geological and oceanographic settings -- Hydrodynamics and sediment processes applicable to beach-inlet systems -- Sedimentology and morphodynamics of beach-inlet systems -- Interaction of beaches and inlets -- Methods to mitigate beach erosion and ensure inlet navigation safety -- Regional sediment management at beach-inlet systems -- Resiliency of beach-inlet systems facing sea-level rise, storm impacts and human stresses.

Beaches, barrier islands and tidal inlets are valuable coastal resources and provide desirable environments that are often densely populated. They are dynamic landforms that change constantly, driven by both normal processes and energetic storms. They behave as one interconnected system and must be understood and managed as such. This book discusses their various morphologic features, as well as the processes that shape them and future challenges due to environmental change. A major focus is placed on the interaction between sandy beaches and tidal inlets, and the sediment exchange among various morphologic features. Balancing these valuable sediment resources while maintaining the natural sediment exchange constitutes a major goal of modern shore protection and coastal management. Illustrated with numerous aerial photographs to demonstrate how beaches and tidal inlets interact, this book provides a valuable reference for graduate students, researchers and professionals working in coastal management and geomorphology.
