Coastal Engineering : Processes, Theory and Design Practice

---

The United Nations estimated that by 2004, in excess of 75% of the world's population would live within the coastal zone. These regions are therefore of crucial important economic, transport, residential and recreational functions, all of which depend upon its physical characteristsic, appealing landscape, cultural heritage, natural resources and rich biodiversity. Effective stewardship of the coastal zone is thus the foundation for the well being and economic viability of present and future generations of its residents. The pressures on coastal enviroments are also being exacerbated by changes in global climate. The value of the coastal zone to humanity, and the enormous pressure on it, provide strong incentives for a greater scientic understanding which can ensure effective coastal engineering practice together with efficient and sustainable management. Coastal Engineering : Processes, Theory and Design Practice is the only book providing a thorough introduction to all aspects of coastal processes, morphology and design of coastal defences. The use of detailed and state-of-the art modelling techniques are an important theme of this book, and there are numerous case studies showing real-life examples where mathematical modelling has been applied through engineering judgement. With thorough coverage of the theory, and practical demonstration of the applications. Coastal Engineering : Processes, Theory and Design Practice is a must have for all students and engineering working in coastal management and engineering.
