Contents
1.Prelude to modeling coastal basins/ 2.Currents and continuity/ 3.Box and one-dimensional models/ 4.Basic hydrodynamics/ 5.Simple hydrodynamic models/ 6.Modeling tides and long waves in coastal basins/ 7.Mixing in coastal basins/ 8.Advection of momentum/ 9.Aspects of stratification/ 10.Dynamics of partially mixed basins/ 11.Roughness in coastal basins/ 12.Wave and sediment dynamics/ References/ Index/
* Coastal basins are defined as estuaries, lagoons, and embayments. This book deals with the science of coastal basins using simple models, many of which are presented in either analytical form or Microsoft Excel or MATLAB. The book introduces simple hydrodynamics and its applications, from the use of simple box and one-dimensional models to flow over coral reefs. *

Rotating Hydraulics
Nonlinear Topographic Effects in the Ocean and Atmosphere

Contents
1. The Hydraulics of Non-rotating Homogeneous Flows/ 2. The Hydraulics of Homogeneous Flow in a Rotating Channel/ 3. Time Dependence and Shock/ 4. Coastal Applications/ 5. Stratified Systems/ 6.Vorticity Hydraulics/ Appendices/ Index/
* This book contains a deep and extensive discussion of geophysical flows that are broad enough to be influenced by Earth’s rotation and strong enough to experience classical hydraulic effects such as critical control and hydraulic jumps. Examples include deep overflows and coastal currents in the ocean and winds in the coastal marine layer. The material is appropriate for students at the graduate or advanced undergraduate level who have some elementary knowledge of fluid mechanics. Reviews of geophysical observations and of the hydraulics of flow with no background rotation are followed by chapters on models of currents in rotating channels, shock waves and time dependence, coastal flow, two-layer stratification, and jets. Although the primary focus is on the theory, a number of case studies, including the Faroe Bank overflow and the California coastal marine layer winds, are presented along with numerous laboratory experiments. Exercises are presented at the end of most sections. The presentation should allow the reader to develop a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of the hydraulics of rotating flows. *

1. Introduction/ 2. Tsunami Dynamics/ 3. Signatures of Tsunami in the Coastal Landscape/ 4. Coastal Landscape Evolution/ 5. Earthquake-Generated Tsunami/ 6. Great Landslides/ 7. Volcanic Eruptions/ 8. Comets and Meteorites/ 9. Risk and Avoidance/ 10. Epilogue/ Index/
* Tsunami: The Underrated Hazard, 2nd Edition, comprehensively describes the nature and process of tsunami formation, outlines field evidence for detecting the presence of past events, and describes notable events linked to earthquakes, volcanoes, submarine landslides, and comet impacts. The author provides a clear approach to the study of tsunami, through dynamics, impact on coastlines, and overviews of the various major mechanisms of tsunami generation. *

* The leading authority in the field offers a unique and comprehensive treatment of the construction aspects of offshore structures rather than the more commonly addressed design considerations. Extensively updated, this second edition provides a new chapter on extending offshore technologies to inland waterways and emphasizes recent advances, including floating structures, deep-water structures, ice-resistant structures, and bridge foundations. Construction of Marine and Offshore Structures serves as an important reference for engineers in the oil and service industries and for marine construction planners, designers, and contractors. *
