Coastal Sediments '07 presents leading-edge research gathered at the 6th International Symposium on Coastal Engineering and Science of Coastal Sediment Processes, held May 13-17, 2007 in New Orleans, Louisiana. This technical specialty conference was devoted to the physical aspects of sediment processes in coastal and inlet environments.The three volume conference proceedings contains over 190 papers that emphasize the long-term consequences of coastal morphology and explore coastal sediment processes from the micro to regional scale. ""Coastal Sediments '07"" offers practical engineering solutions through use of case studies focusing on beach, channel, and coastal inlets.
