Description: It might be argued that this paper does not sensu stricto contribute to ‘‘polar science.’’ It, however, rekindles aspects of its history and of that of both oceanography and cartography. Obviously the interest for the polar regions was keen in the 19th century and elicited financial support. The paper may lift anew the veil that has somewhat dimmed the light that should shine on polar science… more

Environmental impacts of coastal-plain activities on sandy beach systems: Hazards, perception and mitigation
Type: Text
Year: 2003, 2003
Member of: FAU College Collections
Contributors: Finkl, Charles W., Krupa, Steve L.
Publisher: Coastal Education and Research Foundation, Inc.
Description: Managed sandy beach environments along developed shores often appear safe and healthy because obvious hazards such as beach erosion and flooding are considered within the purview of various mitigation programs. A range of insidious and generally unseen hazards, mostly related to pollution, often pose greater threats to the wellbeing of beach systems than do the highly visible, well publicized… more

Sustainability of subtropical coastal zones in southwestern Florida: challenges for urbanized coastal environments threatened by development, pollution, water supply, and storm hazards
Type: Text
Year: 2003, 2003
Member of: FAU College Collections
Contributors: Charlier, R. H., Finkl, Charles W.
Publisher: Coastal Education & Research Foundation, Inc.
Description: The subtropical Atlantic coastal zone of southeastern Florida supports nearly 7 million inhabitants on a coastal plain conurbation that stretches from West Palm Beach to Miami. About a quarter of the present population originally settled on higher topography along the shore-parallel Atlantic Coastal Ridge. From about the middle 1900s, however, urbanization intensified along the shore and spread… more

Coastal classification: systematic approaches to consider in the development of a comprehensive scheme
Type: Text
Year: 2004, 2004
Member of: FAU College Collections
Contributors: Finkl, Charles W.
Publisher: Coastal Education & Research Foundation, Inc.
Description: Many different kinds of classification have been applied to coasts in attempts to characterize dominant features in terms of physical or biological properties, modes of evolution, or geographic occurrence. Some of the earlier general classifications were broad in scope but lacked specificity while other specialized systems were narrowly focused, providing uneven coverage of taxonomic units for… more

Coupling geological concepts with historical data sets in a MIS framework to prospect for beach-compatible sands on the inner continental shelf: experience on the eastern Texas gulf coast
Type: Text

Contributors: Andrews, Jeffrey L., Benedet, Lindino, Campbell, Thomas J., Finkl, Charles W., Waters, Jeffrey P.
Publisher: Coastal Education and Research Foundation, Inc.
Description: Chronic erosion of beaches along the eastern Texas barrier island coast is increasingly mitigated by renourishment efforts that periodically place large volumes of sand onshore. Location of beach-quality sands on the inner continental shelf is challenged in an environment where terrestrial rivers deposit fluvial sediments in back bays and lagoons instead of offshore and by shelf areas that are… more

Offshore exploration for sand sources: general guidelines and procedural strategies along deltaic coasts
Type: Text
Year: 2005, 2005
Member of: FAU College Collections
Contributors: Finkl, Charles W., Khalil, Syed M.
Publisher: Coastal Education and Research Foundation, Inc.
Description: Because of the large volumes of sand required for beach renourishment, dredging from offshore borrows is the preferred method of sediment supply. As easily accessible and previously known (obvious) deposits are exploited, apparent sand reserves are seen as a dwindling resource that becomes more precious over time. Because economically exploitable offshore sand sources are limited in many regions… more

Member of: FAU College Collections
Contributors: Benedet, Lindino, Campbell, Thomas, Finkl, Charles W.
Publisher: Coastal Education & Research Foundation, Inc.
Description: This paper reviews physical, geologic and environmental parameters of Louisiana barrier islands to support the definition of regional strategies and management practices for long-term coastal restoration. For management purposes the barrier island systems of Louisiana are divided into a series of coastal segments to be maintained over the long term. Recommendations are drawn for each coastal… more
