This book is geared for advanced level research in the general subject
area of remote sensing and modeling as they apply to the coastal marine
environment. The various chapters focus on the latest scientific and
technical advances in the service of better understanding coastal marine
environments for their care, conservation and management. Chapters
specifically deal with advances in remote sensing coastal
classifications, environmental monitoring, digital ocean technological
advances, geophysical methods, geoacoustics, X-band radar, risk
assessment models, GIS applications, real-time modeling systems, and
spatial modeling. Readers will find this book useful because it
summarizes applications of new research methods in one of the world's
most dynamic and complicated environments. Chapters in this book will be
of interest to specialists in the coastal marine environment who deals
with aspects of environmental monitoring and assessment via remote
sensing techniques and numerical modeling.
