This book introduces the new discipline of urban oceanography,
providing a deeper understanding of the physics of the coastal
ocean in an urban setting. The authors explore how the coastal
ocean impacts with the humans who live, work and play along its
shores; and in turn how human activities impact the health and
dynamics of the coastal ocean. Fundamental topics covered include:
the governing dynamical equations; tidal and circulation processes;
variation of salinity and freshwater fluxes; watershed pollutants;
observing systems; and climate change. Bridging the gaps between
the fields of engineering, physical and social sciences, economics,
and policy, this book is for anyone who wishes to learn about the
physics, chemistry, and biology of coastal waters. It will support
an introductory course on urban oceanography at the advanced
undergraduate and graduate level, and will also prove invaluable as
a reference text for researchers, professionals, coastal urban
planners, and environmental engineers.
