The growth of wind waves in coastal areas is limited by the fetch. Understanding this sheltering effect of the coastline on the nearshore wave climate is of critical importance for Navy operations (e,g, amphibious assault and mine countermeasures) in shallow water. Whilst the effect of fetch limitation on the development of the wave field is well understood, the effects of bottom topography, the presence of swell and its interaction with wind waves, the angle of the wind relative to the coastline with regards to the change in effective fetch, and the effects of atmospheric stability, are not well documented. This study investigates fetch-limited wind wave growth by examining cases where a steady wind blows at various angles to a straight coastline, across a continental shelf in the presence of swell. The observed wind wave growth for offshore winds is consistent with previous observations in the North Sea. The presence of energetic swell opposing the wind does not have a significant effect on the wind sea development. Refraction strongly affects the directional properties of wind waves on the inner shelf. Observed wave growth rates agree well with predictions of the WAVEWATCH III operational wave prediction model forced with COAMPS winds.

Quaternary Paleoenvironments examines the drowned landscapes exposed as extensive and attractive territory for prehistoric human settlement during the Ice Ages of the Pleistocene, when sea levels dropped to 120m-135m below their current levels. This volume provides an overview of the geological, geomorphological, climatic and sea-level history of the European continental shelf as a whole, as well as a series of detailed regional reviews for each of the major sea basins. The nature and variable attractions of the landscapes and resources available for human exploitation are examined, as are the conditions under which archaeological sites and landscape features are likely to have been preserved, destroyed or buried by sediment during sea-level rise. The authors also discuss the extent to which we can predict where to look for drowned landscapes with the greatest chance of success, with frequent reference to examples of preserved prehistoric sites in different submerged environments. Quaternary Paleoenvironments will be of interest to archaeologists, geologists, marine scientists, palaeoanthropologists, cultural heritage managers, geographers, and all those with an interest in the drowned landscapes of the continental shelf.
