Coastal Processes in Tideless Seas

Abstract

  • Originally published in 1991 by the Russian Academy of Sciences, Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, the authors have updated and translated this text into English. The book describes the modern state of the problem of sediment transport under wave influence in the coastal zone of tideless seas. Divided into three parts, this text addresses: hydrodynamic and elementary processes of sediment transport, characterization of research sites, measuring procedures, nearshore sediment mass transport, and some aspects of modeling.
