"Coastal Environment, Disaster, and Infrastructure" ed. by X. San Liang, Yuanzhi Zhang

This book provides a selected collection of papers on coastal environmental change, coastal disasters, and coastal infrastructure due to global warming. This book is expected to serve as a relatively comprehensive reference for coastal researchers, graduate students, as well as policymakers and coastal resource managers.

The coastal environment is deteriorating at an alarming rate and is currently a great societal concern. What makes the book distinctly different from others is its diversity, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of coastal problems. With contributions from over 30 authors, the book is a comprehensive account of diverse topics, such as coastal upwelling, estuarine processes, coastal pollution, sea level rise, meteorological and atmospheric problems, urbanization and the heat island effect, and coastal infrastructure, to name just a few, from theoretical study and phenomenological description, to methodological development.
