Coastal Processes: III

G. R. Rodriguez, "Coastal Processes: III"
English | ISBN: 1845646983 | 2013 | 272 pages | PDF | 8 MB

Containing papers presented at the Third International Conference on Physical Coastal Processes, Management and Engineering, this book examines coastal zone dynamics, which involve complex interactions between the atmosphere, ocean, and land. Management of coastal zones is dependent on a number of factors. Large temporal and spatial differences in air-sea exchange processes and wind strength and direction result from the complex interactions referred to above. Recreational and tourism activities make demands on coastal areas. With the number and frequency of extreme events due increases with climate change, their role in changing coastal zones also needs to be considered. The book considers all of these and covers such topics as: Wave Modelling; Coastal Processes; Coastal Zone Management; Sediment Transport and Erosion.
