Dyke, P. P. G.
Modelling coastal and marine processes [electronic resource] / Phil Dyke. - 2nd ed. - London : Singapore : Imperial College Press ; Distributed by World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd., ©2016. - 1 online resource (616 p.) : ill., maps
Includes bibliographical references (p. 577-585).
"Modelling is now an accepted part in the understanding, prediction and planning of environmental strategies. Perfect for undergraduate students and non-specialist readers, Modelling Coastal and Marine Processes (2nd ed.) offers an introduction into how coastal and marine models are constructed and used. The mathematics, statistics and numerical techniques used are explained in the first few chapters, making this book accessible to those without a high-level maths background. Later chapters cover modelling sea bed friction, tides, shallow sea dynamics, and ecosystem dynamics. Importantly, there is also a chapter on modelling the impact of climate change on coastal and near shore processes. New to this revised edition is a chapter on tides, tsunamis and the prediction of sea level, and additional material on the new application of the numerical techniques: flux corrected transport, finite volumes and adaptive grids to coastal and marine modelling."--
