| Notes | The rate of sea-cliff erosion in Oregon is determined by the interplay between tectonic uplift and sea level rise. The Lincoln City area on the central Oregon coast is undergoing relatively little uplift, and therefore experiences a higher rate of erosion than areas to the north and south. This doctoral dissertation examines the rate of erosion and examines the transport and distribution of eroded sand. Although most of the work is concerned with ocean erosion, the author does examine the Siletz Spit and the dunes at the entrance of the Salmon River. |
