Coastal Dynamics (Age 22, US Master’s 1)
About This Textbook
This textbook focuses on the interrelation between physical wave, flow and sediment transport phenomena and the resulting morphodynamics of a wide variety of coastal systems. The objective is to provide hydraulic and coastal engineering Master of Science students with insights into the phenomenological and theoretical, as well as applied aspects of these phenomena.
