- A book of this type is not only the result of the efforts of its authors and editor, but also in large measure of various types of input from many other sources. These include many researchers whose results have been published elsewhere, numerous colleagues and students who are, or have been, associated with the authors, and the many agencies who have supported the authors' research efforts. In addition, several people have given freely of their time and expertise by way of reviewing chapters. Numerous people and publishers have given permission to reproduce illustrations from previous publications: their generosity is greatly appreciated. Specific acknowledgments are as follows: Chapter 1. Most of the research on which this chapter is based was supported by the Office of Naval Research through the Coastal Studies Institute, Louisiana State University and by the Australian Research Grants Committee through the University of Sydney. Support of the preparation of this revised edition was provided by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. The author is especially grateful to J. M. Coleman and B. G. Thom for cooperation in the field, in numerous discussions of ideas and concepts, and for collaboration on many of the research papers underlying this chapter. Chapter 2. The authors' original research which contributed to this chapter was supported by the Army Research Office and the Environmental Protection Agency through the Virginia Institute of Marine Science and the University of Delaware Sea Grant Program (NA80AA-D-00106, Office of Sea Grant, NOAA, U. S. Dept. of Commerce). Additionally, this chapter synthesizes research results of many estuarine studies, notably those of G. P. :Allen, K. Kranck R. Gibbs, D. Have n, R. Krone, I. N. McCave, H. Postma, L Clifton, and P. Scruton. Kay Stubblefield of VIMS drafted the figures. Chapter 3. Financial support for the author's research was provided by the National Science Foundation through its grants GA-407, GA-1583, and GA-21141, and the Office of Naval Research through its grant Nonr-266(84). Numerous students and colleagues have provided assistance, suggestions and advice during the course of this work. Chapter 4. Financial support for the authors' research has been provided by the National Science Foundation (GA-22710), the Georgia Sea Grant Program and a NSF-Institutional Grant from the University of Georgia. The Critical assistance of several people is acknowledged: E. S. Belt, J. D. Howard, V. J. Hurst, K. B. MacDonald, R Pestrong, P. R. Pinet, F. B. Phleger, L. R. Pomeroy, A. C. Redfield, and R G. Wiegert L. Gassert, and G. K. Maddock aided in the literature search. Cbapter 5. Most of the authors original research on Cape Cod was supported by the Coastal Engineering Research Center (Contract DACW 82-62-C-0004). The Virginia Institute of Marine Science and Virginia Sea Grant (Contract 04-5-158-49), have also provided some support. C. A. M. King and R. J. Byrne reviewed the first edition, and H. Tsoar reviewed and provided many useful suggestions for this revision. Chapter 6. The authors research on beach and nearshore environments has been funded by the Office of Naval Research (Contracts 388-092 and 388136) in cooperation with W. T. Fox and by the Coastal Engineering Research Center (Contracts DACW92-10-C-0037 and DACW72-73-C0003). Numerous stimulating discussions with J. C. Boothroyd, M. O. Hayes, D. Nummedal, and H. E. Clifton havs been very beneficial. A large number of graduate students has also provided significant input. Chapter 9. Much of the discussion in this chapter has its roots in the association of the author with M. O. Hayes and Coastal Research groups at the universities of Massachusetts and South Carolina Funds were provided through the Office of Naval Research (Contract NOO014-67-A-0230-001), the Coastal Engineering Research Center (Contract DAC W-72-70-C-0029) and the Rhode Island Sea Grant Program. Numerous colleagues and Students have assisted in various aspects of this work. Chapter 8. The author's shoreface research has been supported largely by the Office of Naval Research, Department of Energy, and NOAA. Field assistance was provided by H. Peg, D. Battisti, S. Wall, L. Wall, J. Collins, J. Leonard, G. Bowers, B. Brenninckmeyer, E. Divit, and D. Carison Various logistic support was provided by Southampton College, Boston College, and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. ARCO Oil & Gas Company provided support for the preparation of the manuscript. Chapter 9. Research on Holocene seguences has been supported by the Delaware Sea Grant College Program: State of Delaware, Dept. of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, Office of Naval Research (Contract NO00014-69-A0407): the National Science Foundation (GP-5604): and the University of Delaware Research Foundation. Many graduate students at the University of Delaware have contributed both the data and the concepts incorporated in this chapter. Chapter 10. The author is grateful to the late W. C. Krumbein who stimulated his interest in computer applications and provided his initial �training at Northwestern University. Most of the authors research in this area was supported by the Office of 'Naval Research (Contracts N00014-69-C-0151 and NO014-77-C-0151). In addition to the assistance of numerous students, much input has been provided by colleagues, especially R. A. Davis, Jr. and P. D. Komar.
