This report shows the results of a detailed analysis of the various littoral processes which affect the California Coast between Pismo Beach and Santa Barbara. The method involves the concept of a sand budget based on the transport rates of all significant littoral processes. Each process is examined to assess the sedimentary contributions (credits) and losses (debits). To balance the sediment transports, the region is subdivided into five cells, the boundaries of which are chosen at positions where the longshore transport of sand has been estimated. Using basic data from maps, surveys, aerial photographs, climatic records, and wave conditions, the authors have determined a quantitative transport rate for each process in each cell. The results are shown in graphic and tabular form. The budget concept provides a practical tool for coastal engineering problems. However, the difficulty of moving from qualitative trends to quantitative determinations reveals gaps in the present state of knowledge and requirements for further research. (Author).

This book, first published in 1986, stems from the 1986 Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium. The topic was chosen because of the advances in the study of aeolian processes and landforms, particularly in the area of desertification, and the papers collected here clearly indicate that their study is not constrained by discipline boundaries but are of interest to geologists, physical geographers, soil scientists, meteorologists and engineers.
