Estuaries: A Physical Introduction
Estuaries: A Physical Introduction by Keith R. Dyer is a comprehensive introductory text published by Wiley in 1997. This second edition, consisting of 195 pages, emphasizes the physical processes involved in the mixing of sea and river water, as well as the transport of fine sediments within estuarine environments. The book presents theoretical and mathematical formulations of these processes at an elementary level, providing a foundation for further study in related fields.
Readers will find that this edition retains classical approaches to tidally averaged circulation and mixing conditions while incorporating recent advances in understanding estuarine processes. The scope has been expanded to include detailed discussions on estuarine morphology, sediment fluxes, and turbidity maximum generation and maintenance. This text serves as an excellent introduction for research students in oceanography, environmental science, geography, geology, and water and coastal engineering, and it also functions as a valuable reference for professionals involved in water quality, morphological modeling, and estuarine environmental management.
Official synopsis Publisher
Estuaries is a comprehensive introductory text emphasizing the physical processes involved in the mixing of sea and river water and the transport of fine sediments within the complex estuarine topographic context. The theoretical and mathematical formulation of these processes are treated at a fairly elementary level, and are used to develop a foundation for more extensive study. The second edition retains the classical approaches to the tidally averaged circulation and mixing conditions but broadens them to consider recent advances in the understanding of processes occurring within the tide. The scope has also been widened to include more detail on the morphology of estuaries and their development, the fluxes of suspended fine sediments, and the generation and maintenance of turbidity maximum. The book provides an excellent introduction for research students in oceanography, environmental science, geography, geology, and water and coastal engineering. It will also be useful as a reference book for those working in water quality, morphological modelling and estuarine environmental management.
