The aim of the book is to present for non-specialist researchers as
well as for experts a comprehensive overview of the background, key
ideas, basic methods, implementation details and a selection of
solutions offered by a novel technology for the optimisation of the
location of dangerous offshore activities in terms of environmental
criteria, as developed in the course of the BalticWay project. The
book consists of two parts. The first part introduces the basic
principles of ocean modeling and depicts the long way from the
generic principles to the practical modeling of oil spills and of
the propagation of other adverse impacts. The second part focuses
on the techniques for solving the inverse problem of the
quantification of offshore areas with respect to their potential to
serve as a source of environmental danger to vulnerable regions
(such as spawning, nursing or also tourist areas). The chapters are
written in a tutorial style; they are mostly self-contained and
understandable for non-specialist researchers and students. They
are carefully peer-reviewed by international experts. The goal was
to produce a book that highlights all key steps, methods, models
and data sets it is necessary to combine in order to produce a
practically usable technology and/or decision support system for a
particular sea region. Thus the book is useful not only as a
description and a manual of this particular technology but also as
a roadmap highlighting the complicated technical issues of ocean
modeling for practical purposes. It describes the approaches taken
by the authors in an understandable way and thus is useful for
educational purposes, such as a course in industrially and
environmentally relevant applications of ocean modeling.
