dc.description.abstract |
The southeastern coast of Sri Lanka is characterized by extensive depositional
beaches, barriers, sand dunes, chains of lagoons and estuaries, while
changing river outfalls and fossilized coastal landforms corresponding to
undated earlier stages complicate matters. The erosional beaches along the
west coast have been studied for more than three decades, but little attention
has been paid to the landforms of the depositional environment of the
southeastern coast. This study concentrates on this latter environment and
has three main objectives:
a. Classification of the coastal landforms of the southeastern coast, using
appropriate geomorphological criteria and aerospace survey methods, with
special reference to the relative chronology of development, and compilation
of a geomorphological map of the southeastern coast.
b. Elaboration of the geomorphological mapping by field checking, sediment
analysis in the laboratory and statistical treatment.
c. Analysis of the geomorphological evolution, emphasizing the evolutionary
stages and landform development throughout these stages.
The main theme of the thesis - the evolution of the southeast coast of Sri
Lanka - is approached through intermediate objectives a and b. |
