Dynamics and Exchanges in Estuaries and the Coastal Zone

Marine pollution is especially evident within estuaries and along coasts. Moreover, the impacts of global climate change on oceans are likely to be the greatest in these areas. This volume addresses a range of physical processes, from the adhesion of pollutants of sediments to the structure of currents and turbulence. "Dynamics and Exchanges in Estuaries and the Coastal Zone" describes research from four continents on a spectrum of the dynamics of turbulent measurements, estuarine circulation, estuarine-coastal exchanges and bay-shelf sea resonances. The chapters emphasize clear introductions and the broad interpretation of results in this field.
