In this exciting and innovative textbook, two leading
oceanographers bring together the fundamental physics and biology
of the coastal ocean in a quantitative but accessible way for
undergraduate and graduate students. Shelf sea processes are
comprehensively explained from first principles using an integrated
approach to oceanography that helps build a clear understanding of
how shelf sea physics underpins key biological processes in these
environmentally sensitive regions. Using many observational and
model examples, worked problems and software tools, the authors
explain the range of physical controls on primary biological
production and shelf sea ecosystems. Boxes throughout the book
present extra detail for each topic and non-mathematical summary
points are provided for physics sections, allowing students to
develop an intuitive understanding. The book is fully supported by
extensive online materials, including worked solutions to
end-of-chapter exercises, additional homework/exam problems with
solutions and simple MATLAB and FORTRAN models for running
simulations.
