摘要: ABSTRACT Jackson, D.W.T.., Cooper, J.A.G., Green, A.N., 2014. A preliminary classification of sand dunes the KwaZulu-Natal coast. In: A.N. and J.A.G. (eds.), Proceedings 13th International Coastal Symposium (Durban, South Africa), Journal Research, Special Issue No. 70, pp. 718–722, ISSN 0749-0208. The 550 km-long coast broadly divides into a bedrock-framed southern section northern coastal plain section, each approximately equal length. Seven types dune are identified on this coast: estuary barrier dunes; mainland beach foredunes; prograded beachridge headland bypass transverse fields; parabolic/migrating dunefield; climbing dunes. development distribution various forms is more strongly controlled by geological setting, than aerodynamic regime.
