Description
Completely revised and updated for its second edition, this volume belongs to the Open University series on oceanography. It is designed
so that it can be read on its own or studied as part of the Open University third-level course, S330 Oceanography.
The book begins
by describing the characteristics of waves and tides, and their behaviour in shallow water. After outlining the sources of sediment supply
to the oceans, some theoretical aspects of sediment movement and deposition by currents are considered. After looking at wave action
in the littoral zone, the interplay of tidal currents, river flow and wave action in estuaries and deltas are explored. The final chapter
provides an overview of shelf processes.
This is a vital book for all oceanography undergraduate students worldwide.
Audience
Student oceanographers and university libraries worldwide
