Professor Xiaohua Wang's book entitled 'Dynamic Response of Coasts and Estuaries to Human Impacts - Problems and Solutions' is published by Springer Nature (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-63300-3). Coastal environments are key locations for transport, commercial, residential and defense infrastructure, and provide conditions suitable for economic growth. They also fulfill important cultural, recreational and aesthetic needs. However, many world estuaries and coastal environments are under tremendous stress in response to global warming and the increased anthropogenic forcing. In this book, Professor Xiaohua Wang have used case studies to tell a story about how these environments respond to severe human-induced perturbations, and what has gone right and wrong from environmental and resource management point of view. The book's key features include:

- Demonstrates how one can document an estuarine ecosystem's response to human stresses
- Oceanography textbook for high level undergraduate students
- Presents theories, models and solutions for designing a management plan for ecologically sustainable development
