During 2000/2001 exceptionally high winter rainfall resulted in major ground instability problems on the Isle of Wight, and coincided with the completion of important research on the predicted impacts of climate change on unstable coastal and mountainours areas.
These proceedings highlight the importance of implementing coastal and landslide management strategies and integrating the research findings into strategic planning and development control policies. This book will be of great interest to engineers and scientists, as well as practitioners involved in planning and administration within local authorities. It will help in the implementation of sound, sustainable management strategies.
