A practical guide to the latest remote and in situ techniques used
to measure sediments, quantify seabed characteristics, and
understand physical properties of water and sediments and transport
mechanisms in estuaries and coastal waters. Covering a broad range
of topics from global reference frames and bathymetric surveying
methods to the use of remote sensing for determining surface-water
variables, enough background is included to explain how each
technology functions. The advantages and disadvantages of each
technology are explained, and a review of recent fieldwork
experiments demonstrates how modern methods apply in real-life
estuarine and coastal campaigns. Clear explanations of physical
processes show links between different disciplines, making the book
ideal for students and researchers in the environmental sciences,
marine biology, chemistry and geology, whose work relies on an
understanding of the physical environment and the way it is
changing as a result of climate change, engineering and other
influences.
