Description
Summary:Two Russian oceanographers (Russian Academy of Sciences) and a US dredging engineer (Texas AandM U.) translate and update their 1991 Russian results of field research into sand sediment dynamics in the coastal zones of the Black, Baltic, and Mediterranean Seas. A reference for students, engineers, and researchers, it discusses such aspects as nearshore dynamics, measuring methods, suspended sediment in the nearshore zone, bed microforms, characterizing testing sites, experiments and observation data, cross-shore sediment transport, and the variability of the underwater slope profile.
