Coastal processes on soft shores / by T. Milne Dick & Ales J. Zeman.: En36-539/81-1983E-PDF
"The characteristics of shores which erode rapidly are described and the processes are outlined. Results of annual topographic surveys of a section of Lake Erie northern shore are used to illustrate the difficulty of obtaining measurements of shore recession rates. Annual rates of shore recession are shown to vary considerably both as a function of time and of location. A model is proposed which gives the recession of the toe of the bluff as a function of the work done by waves. Some verification of the concept is obtained but other information is contradictory. The data available do not permit an evaluation of the effect of a sand bed near the bluff"--Abstract.
