Proceedings of the Solutions to Coastal Disasters 2008 conference, held in Turtle Bay, Oahu, Hawaii, April 13-16, 2008. Sponsored by the Coasts, Oceans, Ports, and Rivers Institute of ASCE; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminstration; U.S. Geological Survey. This collection contains 90 papers with state-of-the-art information coastal engineering. Topics include: sea-level rise, hurricanes and storm surge, coastal inundation and flooding, shoreline erosion and beach nourishment, shoreline management, coastal hazard mitigation, vulnerability of coastal structures, marine facilities, and social science related to coastal disasters. This proceedings is a companion to Solutions to Coastal Disasters 2008: Tsunamis and will be valuable to engineers, managers, planners, scientists, geologists, economists, oceanographers, and meteorologists working in the coastal zone.
