A dairy farm on the Holderness coastline in Yorkshire is being lost to the sea through coastal erosion.

Duration: 01:38

A cliff-top resident describes the coastal erosion threatening his home and explains why he is demolishing his 100-year-old house.

Duration: 02:34

An explanation of the causes of coastal erosion and the development of coastal erosion landforms.

Duration: 05:18

A report about coastal erosion and conflict along the coastline, illustrated by a case study of the abandoned Hallsands village in Devon.

The British Isles has 12,500km of coastline which is continuously being pounded by the sea. On the Holderness coastline, land and property is being washed away.

Duration: 02:07

Coastal landforms such as blowholes and headlands are formed by wave attack. Sub-aerial processes, such as rainfall, can also cause coastal erosion.

Duration: 03:57

The coastline of West Wales is under constant attack from the prevailing winds travelling over the Atlantic Ocean.

Duration: 01:26

The theory of isostasy is illustrated using the town of Stonehaven in Scotland as an example.

Duration: 00:04:26

Features formed by longshore drift are explained and illustrated. The formation of coastal sand dunes is also discussed.

Duration: 05:11

A farm on the Holderness coastline in Yorkshire is being lost to the sea. The erosion has been significantly worse since defences were built further down the coast.

Duration: 03:59

Hallsands in South Devon was a fishing village lost to the sea in 1917. The village used to be protected from the sea by a shingle beach but when this was dredged the soft rock beneath the village was rapidly eroded.

Duration: 03:15

A description of the impact of human interventions on the shape of our coastline, with particular reference to the Fens.

Duration: 02:00

Longshore drift and the formation of spits, barrier beaches and tombolos are explained with case studies.

Duration: 04:16

The cliffs around Old Harry Rocks in Dorset are made of chalk. Hydraulic action causes caves, arches, stacks and stumps to form within the chalk.

Duration: 04:45

Old Harry Rocks in Dorset stand at the tip of a chalk headland. The rocks form a headland as the chalk is more resistant to erosion than the clays found either side.

Duration: 05:29

The Dune of Pilat in France is the highest sand dune in Europe. The loose sand constantly moves and the dune migrates away from the sea until it meets a pine forest inland.

Duration: 01:54

A report about the intertidal salt marshes and mudflats in the estuary of the River Ythan in Aberdeenshire.

Duration: 03:58

Sediment is moved along the coastline through longshore drift. Longshore drift creates spits which are formed where the line of the coast changes, such as a river estuary.

Duration: 03:34

The Kaitorete Spit in New Zealand is 30km long. It is created by glacial drift left behind from the ice age 12,000 years ago.

Duration: 03:24

Blakeney Point in Norfolk is a coastal spit extending far along the coast. The form of the spit is always changing, depending on weather conditions.

Duration: 02:26

An explanation of sand - its existence, composition and transportation along the coastline.

Duration: 02:12

Diagrams and images are used to explain the formation of waves.

Duration: 03:46

The formation of a wave-cut platform and a stack are illustrated.

Duration: 01:56

Aerial erosion has a role to play in the formation of coastal features such as the Bullers of Buchan in Aberdeenshire.
