Morphodynamics of Inner Continental Shelves

Morphodynamics of Inner Continental Shelves

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This exciting new book discusses the morphodynamic processes that link coastal physical oceanography to the geomorphology and geologic evolution of inner continental shelves. Topics include:oclassical models of inner shelf or "shoreface" equilibriumothe geological history of inner shelvesoinner shelf physical oceanography, bottom boundary layer dynamics on the inner shelfoinner shelf sediment transport processesothe development, maintenance, and evolution of inner shelf morphologyThroughout the book, theories, concepts, and models are grounded by application to real-world examples. Specifically, comparsions are made among four cases: Middle Atlantic Bight, the Louisiana Shelf, the shelf off southeastern Australia, and the epicontinental shelf of the Gulf of Bohai, China.

Book Info
Provides an up-to-date and in-depth synthesis of the coastal behavior making a minimum of assumptions about the background discipline of the readers. Of some value to biological chemical oceanographers concerned with the coastal fluxes. DLC: Continental shelf.
