Special attention is paid to beach and nearshore processes, and to the 

 formation and origin of barriers, cheniers, and beach ridges.

Covers beach and nearshore sedimentation (physical and biological 

 aspects) from the generation of processes through the mechanics of the 

 processes, interaction of processes with sediment, and culminating in 

 distribution of sediment and structures across the environment.

Discusses the various criteria for recognizing ancient barrier coast- 

 lines. Most of these criteria were derived from the study of modern 

 barrier coastlines, especially where interpretations are based on limited 

 data.
