Hydrodynamics and sedimentation in wave-dominated coastal environments

This volume evolved from a symposium held at the Eleventh International Congress on Sedimentology which met at Hamilton, Ontario in August 1982 under the auspices of the International Association of Sedimentologists. The symposium entitled “Coastal Environments Dominated by Waves” was convened jointly by Brian Greenwood (representing the primary sponsors, the Geological Association of Canada and Canadian Society of Petroleum Geologists) and Skip Davis (representing the Society of Economic Paleontologists and Mineralogists, the co-sponsor).
The objective of the symposium was to provide a forum for discussion of the links between hydrodynamics and sedimentation in both modern and ancient wave-dominated coastal environments.
