Synopsis

A reference volume discussing the dynamics, mixing, sediment regimes and morphological evolution in estuaries for researchers, students and engineers.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This volume provides researchers, students, practising engineers and managers access to knowledge, practical formulae and new hypotheses for the dynamics, mixing, sediment regimes and morphological evolution in estuaries. The objectives are to explain the underlying governing processes and synthesise these into descriptive formulae which can be used to guide the future development of any estuary. Each chapter focuses on different physical aspects of the estuarine system - identifying key research questions, outlining theoretical, modeling and observational approaches, and highlighting the essential quantitative results. This allows readers to compare and interpret different estuaries around the world, and develop monitoring and modeling strategies for short-term management issues and for longer-term problems, such as global climate change. The book is written for researchers and students in physical oceanography and estuarine engineering, and serves as a valuable reference and source of ideas for professional research, engineering and management communities concerned with estuaries.

Revue de presse

"The book's title accurately represents its content: a wealth of information on tidal and residual circulation in estuaries, mixing processes between riverine discharge and oceanic water, and how these dynamics affect sediment balance and shale estuarine morphology. ... the author's distinctive style of distilling complicated dynamics into simple analytical expressions and governing parameters with a wide range of applicability will find many enthusiastic readers and followers in the years to come."
