Many of these have little or no existing beach in the groin field. This paper suggests a method for retaining sand in the groin field by moderately modifying the existing groin system. The application of this method is illustrated for the case of the Galveston groin field.Item Protecting East Antarctic Waters(The Pew Charitable Trusts, 2014-10) Kavanagh, AndreaItem Scoping study: Updating the Beach Management Manual(Environment Agency, 2007-11) Brampton, A H; Harcourt, J S; Rogers, J R; Bean, NItem Philippines Coastal & Marine Resources: An Introduction(Philippines Environment Monitor, 2005) Philippines Environment MonitorItem From Global to Regional: Local Sea Level Rise Scenarios(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), 2010-11-22) UNESCO Venice Office; ISMAR-CNR; Ruoss, EngelbertItem Policy Statement on Flood and Coastal Defense(Dover District Council, 2016-04) Dover District CouncilItem South Carolina Coastal Zone Management Program Section 309 Assessment and Strategy 2011-2015(NOAA, 2011-01) South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control; Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource ManagementItem Natural Hazard Response and Planning in Tropical Queensland(University of Colorado Institute of Behavioral Science, 1978-07) Oliver, JohnThis paper analyzes the problems of natural hazard response and planning in tropical Queensland, Australia. It examines whether concepts and findings developed by natural hazard studies, particularly in the USA, are applicable to other hazard prone areas, in this case that of tropical Queensland. Comparative studies require, first of all, the examination of the nature and behavior of the natural hazard. Attention is directed to the particular complex of hazard conditions which result from tropical cyclones, so that it can be assessed whether any distinctive features characterize their behavior in the Queensland area. A survey of the relevant circumstances of the economy and society is then undertaken. From this it is possible to examine the particular effects upon the coastal communities that may arise in the Queensland area from the occurrence of tropical cyclones. These preliminary surveys lead to the main analysis of hazard response and of the forms of adjustment that are available in the circumstances discussed in the first part of the paper. It becomes apparent that a number of final assessments must await further investigations in depth. In the case of tropical Queensland, as elsewhere, the importance of additional natural hazard research is evident. Nevertheless the paper can contribute to the comparative understanding of the significance of the tropical cyclone hazard.
