Introduction to Rocky Coasts

Interactions between foraminifera and macrofauna have been little studied, especially on rocky coasts.

This methodology was adapted and improved for the local rocky coast, but can be used on other complex rocky coasts worldwide.

Our work will serve as an essential foundation for the understanding of desiccation tolerance mechanisms in Pyropia yezoensis in the upper intertidal zones of rocky coasts.

Boulder detachment from the seafloor and subsequent transport and accumulation along rocky coasts is a complex geomorphological process that requires a deep understanding of submarine and onshore environments.

In the south-east of Italy, rocky coasts are almost entirely concentrated in the Apulia region.

The beaches are the most valuable environment in economic terms by the tourism, nevertheless, dunes, rias, estuaries, deltas, fan-deltas, lagoons, rocky coasts and cliffs with different geologic and dynamic controls are distributed along the coastal extension.

Coastal dunes and Neogene predominant rocky coasts, with savannas distributed in the semiarid zone, are classified as northeastern landscape domain.

In the northern area of the Adriatic, sheltered among the rocky coasts and the closed gulf of Cattaro, was installed the Austro-Hungarian fleet that through the Channel of Otranto reached the open sea and with the help of the submarines threatened the navigation of the Triple Entente.

This study invites readers to experience risk on Australia’s hazardous rocky coasts with the rock fishing community.

According to general results for the entire archipelago, the percentage between rocky coasts or coasts formed by cohesive materials and beach coasts or coasts formed by non-cohesive materials is 80–20.

It is a hot, humid area typified by tropical rainforests, mangrove swamps, sandy beaches, rocky coasts, freshwater marshes, palm forest swamps, and low mountain ranges with cloud forest vegetation.

The landscape shows a sequence of mountains, fjords, marine terraces, rocky coasts, towering cliffs, hanging valleys, cirques, lakes, and waterfalls, all in a pristine state.

Rocky coasts, widely present along the world shorelines, have been studied from different points of view.

Boulder transport is an area of growing interest to coastal scientists as a means of improving our understanding of the complex interactions between extreme wave activity and the evolution of rocky coasts.

It has a wide variety of temperate coastal systems comprising considerable geo- and biodiversity which is represented in cliffs, rocky coasts, sandy beaches, coastal plains, estuaries, and river deltas.

The results of this work highlight that the infrared thermometer is an effective tool to measure rock surface temperature along rocky coasts, capable of detecting temperature fluctuations more effectively than traditionally employed data loggers.

Geomorphological evolution, erosion and retreat processes that affect the rocky coasts of the mid-western Adriatic Sea (Abruzzo, Central Italy) are the subject of this research.
