Description: Further DetailsTitle: Dynamics Of Coastal SystemsCondition: NewEAN: 9789814725132ISBN: 9789814725132Edition: Second EditionPublisher: World Scientific Publishing Co Pte LtdFormat: HardbackRelease Date: 10/18/2016Description: The book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the physical processes which, according to the present state of knowledge, determine the evolution of coastal systems and their response to human interventions. This response depends to a large degree on the self-organising properties of coastal dynamics, which form a leading theme throughout the book. The basic theoretical ideas are explained in text and figures and also in formulas for the more mathematically inclined reader. Theories are illustrated with examples from estuaries, coastal lagoons, beaches and tidal flat systems from all over the world. The rules and simple models can be used directly without relying on complex computations; much attention is given to the strengths and weaknesses of the underlying theories and their limits of applicability. The book is fully self-contained; some knowledge of basic physics and mathematics is recommended. The book is an upgrade of the first edition. Most parts are rewritten and chapters are added to incorporate research results, new insight and experience of the past ten years. This book is intended for everyone interested in coastal systems for professional or educational reasons.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: SGAuthor: Job DronkersGenre: Science Nature & MathBook Series: Advanced Series On Ocean EngineeringRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
