Book description

The coastal ocean comprises the semi-enclosed seas on the continental shelf, including estuaries and extending to the shelf break. This region is the focus of many serious concerns, including coastal inundation by tides, storm surges or sea level change; fisheries and aquaculture management; water quality; harmful algal blooms; planning of facilities (such as power stations); port development and maintenance; and oil spills. This book addresses modeling and simulation of the transport, evolution and fate of particles (physical and biological) in the coastal ocean. It is the first to summarize the state of the art in this field and direct it toward diverse applications, for example in measuring and monitoring sediment motion, oil spills and larval ecology. This is an invaluable textbook and reference work for advanced students and researchers in oceanography, geophysical fluid dynamics, marine and civil engineering, computational science and environmental science.

Reviews

'Particles in the Coastal Ocean deserves a place on the reference bookshelves of every oceanographer, and others such as advanced undergraduate and graduate students, fisheries and pollution researchers, coastal engineers, and fluid modeling simulation experts. This excellent book reveals the gap that existed previously, in both its subject and its quality.'

'To analyse the particle motion, deterministic, numerical, statistical and full three-dimensional simulations are used. With such a wide scope, the authors have set themselves a challenging task. Nevertheless, the book is a success both in covering a massive amount of material and making it readable … the book is an outstanding summary of the methodology, including applications and implications, of particle tracking in the coastal ocean. Considering the length and the number of figures the book is a bargain at £77 (hardback). In my view, it is required reading for anyone interested in coastal fluid dynamics.'
