Title information
This Special Publication represents the major cumulative contribution of the Working Group of the United States of America to IGCP Project 274. The primary aims of Project 274 are to: (1) document and explain local to global variations in coastal and continental-shelf evolution, incorporating knowledge of coastal and shelf processes and environment with geodynamic, climatic, oceanographic and other data to produce local and regional models, ranging from descriptive to numerical, leading to a better understanding of interactive forces responsible for past, present and future changes to the coasts of the world; and (2) promote specified thematic studies, which are necessary to solve problems of coastal change affecting human occupation of the coastal zone. The volume contains sections on Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf and Lacustrine shorelines, covering both Holocene and Pleistocene deposits, representing a summary of decades of research into coastal and continental-shelf evolution of North America.
