Talk:Coastal erosion

Start
This is the start of an article on Coastal Erosion Prevention and I would like to talk to others who have a similar interest, and may just have new knowledge in this field. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crowsgorve (talk • contribs) 05:05, June 12, 2005‎

Quality
Original article was really bad, containing many inaccuracies, poorly researched and explained examples, etc.. Tides are definitely NOT the main cause of coastal erosion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dborignal (talk • contribs) 14:14, December 19, 2005
 * Definately needs some work- perhaps include some of the causes and cross-reference to costal defenses and methods of avoiding sinking into the sea, like Managed Retreat... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.229.218.5 (talk • contribs) 17:43, February 6, 2006‎

 * It does not tell you about caves stacks arches stumps an many more things  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.101.240.6 (talk • contribs) 03:11, April 5, 2011‎
 * I agree,and I researched and came up with another better website (whose name shall remain undisclosed)and found out everything I needed to know. I will not be returning to wikepedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.45.25.47 (talk • contribs) 13:21, January 16, 2012‎

River-Stream Sediment Question
Can anyone contribute something about the river and stream sediment factor. In California, I've heard for years that flood control and dam projects keep sediment from flowing into bays and oceans thus robbing beaches of a good source of sand. This seems to be evidenced by the fact that many dams are finally back filling with tons of silt and are no longer effective. I'm not an expert in this area so I defer to soil scientists, hydrologists and other hard science people. Me just humble shrink and surfer boy. Kit Hill kithill@aol.com.

Semi-protected edit request on 14 March 2016
In the section Examples "An example of a cliffed coast is in north-south Wales where over years of the sea beating at the cliffs the houses on top have begun collapsing into the sea. With some of them you can even see inside as the entire backs of some of the houses have come off and have been launched over the clifftop that has been torn through by the ferocious sea." north-south wales is incorrect and the grammar used is terrible. It would be better put as 'A place where erosion of a cliffed coast has occurred is at Wamberal in the Central Coast region of New South Wales where houses built on top of the cliffs began to collapse into the sea. This is due to waves causing erosion of the primarily sedimentary material on which the buildings foundations sit. '

hydraulic action?
So hydraulic action is "waves compressing air in cracks in a rock shoreline"? Would that not be pneumatic action by definition? Or hydro-pneumatic at best. That seems at odds with every other usage of the word hydraulic that I've ever seen. What would be much more in keeping with every other definition of the word would be waves acting on water which has seeped into cracks in the rocks, since hydraulic hammer effect is a well known phenomenon, and water, being incompressible, is a far, far more effective transmitter of impact force than air, which simply acts as a cushion or spring, without transmitting a shockwave to anything like the same degree.

Tracking section
The tracking section is quite short. In my view, the section would benefit from additional explanation how these measurements could be used. We have published a study on this in Coastal Engineering (one of the leading scientific journals in this field). I think, we could contribute some interesting aspects to this paragraph (how to use these tracked profiles and how to use this information for future coastal management). Let me know what you think about these suggestions! Philot789 (talk) 13:46, 17 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I agree that the tracking section was really short compared to the other sections of the article. They only gave a few methods to track coastal erosion in three sentences, when each method could have been expanded on a little more. I think that your idea to include a few paragraphs on future coastal management would also make this article a stronger reference to be used in other work and projects.

 * Cool, thank you for your feedback! I will think about some extensions in the next days and propose them Philot789 (talk) 13:11, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
