Coastal Sediments Textural And Statistical Analysis

COASTAL SEDIMENTS TEXTURAL AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS

The coastline of Andhra Pradesh is situated on the Southeast coast of Indian Peninsula with waters of Bay of Bengal and length of the coastline is 974 kilometers. The coastline endowed with huge recent sediments. These have been attracting the attention of geologists for research in many aspects. The research output yields an excellent opportunity to examine texture, composition and distribution pattern of coastal sediments and is useful for delineating valuable minerals that are enriched in good abundance of coastal region. The coastal region contains heavy minerals like ilmenite, magnetite, garnet, sillimanite, rutile, zircon, monazite and epidote etc. These heavy minerals play a major role in different mineral based industries.

Coastal Sediments 2019 - Proceedings Of The 9th International Conference

This Proceedings contains over 260 papers on cutting-edge research presented at the 9th International Conference on Coastal Sediments 2019 (CS19), held in Tampa/St. Petersburg, Florida, USA from May 27-31, 2019. This technical specialty conference is devoted to promoting an interdisciplinary exchange of state-of-the-art knowledge among researchers in the fields of coastal engineering, geology, oceanography, and related disciplines.With the theme of 'Advancing Science & Engineering for Resilient Coastal Systems', this Proceedings covers a wide range of research topics on coastal sediment processes from nearshore sediment transport and modelling to beach processes, shore protection, and coastal management.
