Coastal Geomorphology Studies
Geomorphology- the study of Earth's Form.
Tideline Consulting couples on-the-ground reconnaissance with spatial analysis tools to record the shape and position of an active beachface and environs through time, and analyze the natural processes that formed it. This information is fundamental in determining erosional and accretional trends both locally and regionally.
Knowledge of past and present shoreline trends helps predict future changes. This vital information is fundamental to coastal planning in determining, for example:
- When and where to build sand fences
- When not to renourish
- Where to place nourishment material
- When to take emergency action
- Beneficial placement of dredged materials
Shallow Water Sedimentation Studies
Sediment moves, then sediment stops moving as a result of decreased transport energy. This phenomenon may become problematic in some circumstances, such as loss of navigation or natural habitat. Where did the sediment come from and why did it deposit? Did man-made or natural processes result in this depositional response? A science-based study conducted by a knowledgeable professional reveals evidence to answer these questions.
The Professionals at TidelineConsulting have the tools, the knowledge, and the experience to meet your needs.
