Impact of coastal processes on resource development with an example from Icy Bay, Alaska
Bruce F. Molnia
1978, Open-File Report 79-1693
The coastline of Alaska is dynamic and continually readjusting to changes in the many processes that operate in the coastal zone. Because of this dynamic nature, special consideration must be made in planning for development, and. caution must be exercised in site selection for facilities to be emplaced in the...
