This book is based on the author's 49 years of experience as a
practicing coastal engineer and 34 years as professor of coastal
engineering and management at Queen's University. The book is
therefore thoroughly practical in nature, but it also reflects
newly relevant issues, such as consequences of failure, impacts of
rising sea levels, aging infrastructure, real estate development,
and contemporary decision making, design and education.This
textbook is useful for undergraduate students, postgraduate
students and practicing engineers. It covers waves, structures,
sediment movement, coastal management, and contemporary coastal
design and decision making. It presents both basic principles and
engineering solutions. It discusses the traditional methods of
analysis and synthesis (design), but also contemporary design
methodologies, such as working with environmental impacts.The
second edition expanded greatly on the topics of failure and
resilience that surfaced as a result of recent disasters from
hurricane surges and tsunamis. It updated the discussion of design
and decision making for the 21st century, with many new
examples.This third edition develops some of these topics further,
but its largest new changes is the chapter on climate change. This
chapter presents the basics of climate change and then goes on to
stress the practical implications of the impacts of climate change,
focusing on what is of importance to coastal and fluvial
specialists.
This book is intended to be a text for undergraduate students of
coastal engineering. It also serves as a reference for graduate
students and practicing engineers, building on a basic foundation
in coastal engineering. Finally, it is a guide for people in
related disciplines. Coastal managers may use the book to cover the
more theoretical and engineering-related aspects of their trade.
Its subject matter is of interest to geographers, planners and
coastal scientists alike.

This book is based on the author's 34 years of experience as a
teacher/researcher of coastal engineering and management and on
recent reflections on contemporary issues, such as consequences of
failure, impacts of rising sea levels, aging infrastructure, real
estate development and contemporary decision making, design and
education. This textbook for undergraduate students, postgraduate
students and practicing engineers covers waves, structures,
sediment movement, coastal management, and contemporary coastal
design and decision making, presenting both basic principles and
engineering solutions. It discusses the traditional methods of
analysis and synthesis (design), but also contemporary design
taking into account environmental impacts, consequences of failure,
and current concerns such as global warming, aging infrastructure,
working with stakeholder groups, regulators, etc. This second
edition expands greatly on current topics of failure and resilience
that surfaced as a result of recent disasters from hurricane surges
and tsunamis. It also updates the discussion of design and decision
making in the 21st century, with many new examples presented.
