| Notes | "During the period 1970-76, Siletz Spit on the mid-Oregon coast has suffered foredune erosion. This erosion is associated with high wave conditions along the coast, produced by intense storms in the North Pacific. During the winter of 1972-73 and during January through March 1976 the erosion was particularly severe. The pre-1975 erosion of the spit has been documented in a previous study. One of the main purposes of the present study is to document the 1976 erosion and to contrast it with the earlier episodes..." (from the Abstract). Master of Science thesis in Oceanography. |
