Publisher's Synopsis
This proceeding, ""Estuarine and Coastal Modelling"", contains 66 papers on the state-of-the-art developments and applications of models for bays, sounds, lagoons, estuaries, embayments, bights, and coastal seas. Marine environmental modelling assessment problems are discussed, along with their engineering and environmental impacts. Model applications, which address regulatory requirements for facility sighting and operation, are also presented, as well as the application of models to problems in hydrodynamics, water quality, and sediment transport. Coastal engineering professionals will find the proceedings a valuable reference. The Eighth International Conference on Estuarine and Coastal Modelling was held in Monterey, California, on November 3-5, 2003.
