The primary objective of this publication is to share with a wider audience the valuable
information and extensive dialogue that took place amongst over 140 individuals who attended
the second in a series of planned workshops on the science and management of coastal landforms
in Massachusetts. This workshop took place at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
on January 24, 2001. The individuals who attended this workshop are actively engaged in
planning, managing, regulating, engineering, educating, and studying coastal landforms and
their beneficial functions. This workshop titled, Can Humans & Coastal Landforms Co-exist?’, was
a natural follow-up to a previous workshop, Coastal Landform Management in Massachusetts, held
at WHOI October 9-10, 1997 (proceedings published as WHOI Technical Report #WHOI-98-16).
The workshop had a very practical, applied focus, providing state-of-the-art scientific understanding
of coastal landform function, case history management and regulation of human activities
proposed on coastal landforms, a multi-faceted mock conservation commission hearing
presented by practicing technical consultants and attorneys that involved all attendees acting as
regulators in breakout sessions, and, at the conclusion of the workshop, an open discussion on
all issues related to the science and management of coastal landforms, including future research
needs.

Enabling human-robot cooperation in scientific exploration of bandwidth-limited environments
Jamieson, Stewart Christopher (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2020-05)Contemporary scientific exploration most often takes place in highly remote and dangerous environments, such as in the deep sea and on other planets. These environments are very hostile to humans, which makes robotic ... -
Aridification of the Indian subcontinent during the Holocene : implications for landscape evolution, sedimentation, carbon cycle, and human civilizations
Ponton, Camilo (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2012-06)The Indian monsoon affects the livelihood of over one billion people. Despite the importance of climate to society, knowledge of long-term monsoon variability is limited. This thesis provides Holocene records of monsoon ... -
