Handbook of Coastal and Ocean Engineering by Young C. Kim contains a comprehensive compilation of topics that are at the forefront of many of the technical advances in ocean waves, coastal, and ocean engineering. More than 70 internationally recognized authorities in the field of coastal and ocean engineering contributed articles on their areas of expertise to this handbook.
This book is written by known experts in different subfields of coastal and ocean engineering. It is not a handbook as the title suggests, but it is a good review of the state of the art in many topics of this field of knowledge. The book updates, put together and summarizes information that is dispersed in many journals and proceedings therefore Handbook of Coastal and Ocean Engineering is recommended reference to the coastal and ocean engineer in any part of the world.
These international luminaries are from highly respected universities and renowned research and consulting organizations from all over the world. This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of shallow-water waves, water level fluctuations, coastal and offshore structures, port and harbors, coastal sediment processes, environmental problems, coastal hazards, physical modeling, and other issues in coastal and ocean engineering.
Finally, Handbook Of Coastal And Ocean Engineering is an essential reference for professionals and researchers in the areas of coastal engineering, ocean engineering, oceanography, and meteorology, as well as an invaluable text for graduate students in these fields.
