Wang’s 4th book (2nd this year) entitled 'Recent
Trends
in Estuarine and Coastal Dynamics - Observations and
Modelling' was published
by Elsevier on 30 August 2024
(https://shop.elsevier.com/books/current-trends-in-estuarine-and-coastal-dynamics/wang/978-0-443-21728-9).
The
book's co-editor is Professor Lulu Qiao of Ocean
University of China.
The coasts cover a
diverse range of ecosystems within marine, estuarine,
and freshwater environments. They are some of the most
heavily populated and
visited areas and are also some of the most threatened
natural habitats. Human
activities like sewage discharge, overfishing,
navigation channel dredging,
land reclamation, the construction of shipping ports
and marine plastics are
also responsible for coastal pollution and
degradation. This book focuses on
current studies on sediment transport dynamics and
hydrodynamics of these
environments and presents thorough case studies that
aim to help students and
researchers working in the field. It is a thorough
reference guide on the most
recent trends and developments in observing and
modelling of estuaries and coastal
oceans.
The book's key features are:
- Includes worldwide contributions
from experts in the field of ocean
modelling and coastal management
- Contains real-life case studies to
guide students and researchers
- Covers the latest studies on recent
developments in observing and
modelling estuaries and coastal oceans
