This region has a unique interaction of land, sea, and tectonics. Climate and tectonic change can initiate issues ranging from an inundation of coastal areas due to a combination of sea level rise, vertical land movement, and potential tsunami. This combination of factors leads to the retreat of coastal shorelines due to erosion caused by both tidal action and wave runup. Specific topics explored in this book include the following: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eCoastal erosion rates along the Pacific Northwest coastline from Eureka, California to Vancouver Island, British Columbia.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSea cliff retreat mitigation techniques looking at both the advantages and disadvantages of the different techniques.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInteraction between subduction zone earthquakes and vertical land movement.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWave characterization in both deep and shallow water.
