Northern Gold Coast – Project Publications

During the Northern Gold Coast monitoring project many reports have been prepared for the Gold Coast City Council to report on a number of factors, including shoreline variability, seasonality and erosion/accretion trends.  The reports are available below.  Further, many journal and conference publications have been produced using information collected from the Northern Gold Coast monitoring project.  Many of these publications are available below, following the reports.
