The Evolution of Sandy Barrier Formations on the East Gippsland Coast

  • Chapter
Applied Coastal Geomorphology

Part of the book series: Geographical Readings

Abstract

Two stages of development are recognised in the sandy barriers of the east Gippsland coast; a late Pleistocene stage (the prior barrier and parts of the inner barrier in the Gippsland Lakes region), separated by features of dissection and rearrangement during the Last-glacial phase of low sea-level from the Recent stage (the rest of the inner barrier, together with the outer barrier), added during and since the Post-glacial marine transgression.
