Abstract/Notes | This volume provides researchers, students, practising engineers and managers acces to state-of-the-art knowledge, practical formuale and new hypotheses for the dynamics, mixing, sediment regimes and morphological evolution in estuaries.rnThe objectives are to explain the 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, modelling and observational approaches, and highlithing the essential quantitative results. This allows readers to compares and interpret different estuaries around the world, and develop monitoring and modelling strategies for short-term management issues and for longer-term problems, such as global climate change. rnThis 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, enggineering and management communities concerned with estuaries |
