Charles W. Finkl Christopher Makowski Editors

Diversity in Coastal Marine Sciences Historical Perspectives and Contemporary Research of Geology, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Remote Sensing

Coastal Research Library Volume 23

Series Editor Charles W. Finkl Department of Geosciences Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL 33431, USA

The aim of this book series is to disseminate information to the coastal research community. The Series covers all aspects of coastal research including but not limited to relevant aspects of geological sciences, biology (incl. ecology and coastal marine ecosystems), geomorphology (physical geography), climate, littoral oceanography, coastal hydraulics, environmental (resource) management, engineering, and remote sensing. Policy, coastal law, and relevant issues such as conflict resolution and risk management would also be covered by the Series. The scope of the Series is broad and with a unique cross-disciplinary nature. The Series would tend to focus on topics that are of current interest and which carry some import as opposed to traditional titles that are esoteric and non-controversial. Monographs as well as contributed volumes are welcomed.
