The book presents a state-of-the-art overview of current
developments in the field in a way accessible to attendees coming
from a variety of fields. Relevant examples are turbulence
research, (environmental) fluid mechanics, lake hydrodynamics and
atmospheric physics. Topics discussed range from the fundamentals
of rotating and stratified flows, mixing and transport in
stratified or rotating turbulence, transport in the atmospheric
boundary layer, the dynamics of gravity and turbidity currents
eventually with effects of background rotation or stratification,
mixing in (stratified) lakes, and the Lagrangian approach in the
analysis of transport processes in geophysical and environmental
flows. The topics are discussed from fundamental, experimental and
numerical points of view. Some contributions cover fundamental
aspects including a number of the basic dynamical properties of
rotating and or stratified (turbulent) flows, the mathematical
description of these flows, some applications in the natural
environment, and the Lagrangian statistical analysis of turbulent
transport processes and turbulent transport of material particles
(including, for example, inertial and finite-size effects). Four
papers are dedicated to specific topics such as transport in
(stratified) lakes, transport and mixing in the atmospheric
boundary layer, mixing in stratified fluids and dynamics of
turbidity currents.

The book is addressed to doctoral students and postdoctoral
researchers, but also to academic and industrial researchers and
practicing engineers, with a background in mechanical
engineering, applied physics, civil engineering, applied
mathematics, meteorology, physical oceanography or physical
limnology.
