Climate change is severely effecting our beaches in Victoria and across Australia. About 24% of the Victorian coast in rock shore, the majority of which is classified as cliffs. While a lot of the coast is still sandy much of this is also classified as a rocky coast with at least 20% of the coast being sandy beaches backed by rock. Coastal areas in Victoria already have some risk of exposure to natural hazards without worsening effects of climate change. For example, Lakes Entrance in East…

Do the coastal defences at Dawlish Warren have a significantly larger impact on coastal processes than at Slapton Sands? Throughout this independent enquiry I will be examining the structure and location of the majority of the coastal defences at two drift aligned depositional landforms on the South Devon coastline; Dawlish Warren (the geographer online)1 and Slapton Sands (Chadwick et al, 2005)2. In particular, the success of the defences placed at these two landforms will be compared by…

Seeing that, I was determined to make my Saturday memorable by going sandboarding in the beautiful dunes located in Salton City. Due to the fact that I had a creative mind, my Saturday went from lying in bed with my feet in the air to riding down a bumpy dune with my feet strapped down to a board. Consequently, finding creative solutions has shaped my dream and aspiration of becoming a Forensic Toxicologist. As a…

lanes each way and named after the country's principal architect and former president Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the 842m long bridge is said to be the most intricate bridge ever constructed.

The Gopher Tortoise, also known as Gopherus Polyphemus, is a very important species in the ecological system of the state of Florida.

More than 300 species benefit from the burrows the Gopher Tortoise digs, providing them with shelter. According to a study by Auffenberg and Franz (1982), Kushlan and Mazzotti…
