Environmental Management of Clastic Coastal Depositional Environments: Inferences from an Australian Geomorphic Database

Created 02/03/2026

Updated 02/03/2026

Simple, conceptual geomorphic models can assist environmental managers in making informed decisions regarding management of the coast at continental and regional scales. This basic information, detected from aerial photographs and/or satellite images, can be used to ascertain the relative significance of several common environmental issues, including: sediment trapping efficiency, turbidity, water circulation, and habitat change due to sedimentation for different types of clastic coastal depositional environments.
