Coastal Management Global Challenges and Innovations

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : Krishnamurthy R. R., Jonathan M.P., Srinivasalu Seshachalam, Glaeser Bernhard

Couverture de l’ouvrage Coastal Management

Coastal Management: Global Challenges and Innovations focuses on the resulting problems faced by coastal areas in developing countries with a goal of helping create updated management and tactical approaches for researchers, field practitioners, planners and policymakers. This book gathers, compiles and interprets recent developments, starting from paleo-coastal climatic conditions, to current climatic conditions that influence coastal resources. Chapters included cover almost all aspects of coastal area management, including sustainability, coastal communities, hazards, ocean currents and environmental monitoring.
