Forces related to the sea: deep-water waves, wave transformation near the coast, sea-level fluctuations, chemical and biological action of the sea on the littoral. Beaches: equilibrium beach profile, foredune bars, morphodynamic classification of beaches, sediment transport in the littoral zone. Coastal dunes. Types of coastal accumulation forms and their evolution. Coastal cliffs and platforms. Estuaries and deltas. Lagoons and intertidal marshes. Glacial processes and periglacial coasts. Coastal evolution and coastal management.
