Definition of Coastal morphology:
The (study of the) shape and structure of coastal systems or subsystems. For example: the morphology of a delta, the morphology of an estuary, the morphology of a beach, the morphology of a bedform.
This is the common definition for Coastal morphology, other definitions can be discussed in the article
|
The meaning of the Greek word "morphè" is form or shape.
