Produktinformationen zu „Sediments, Morphology and Sedimentary Processes on Continental Shelves / International Association Of Sedimentologists Series (ePub)“
The application of multibeam and sediment transport measurement
technologies and the adoption of multi-faceted research
methodologies have greatly advanced our understanding of the
sedimentary processes on continental shelves in the last decade.
This book uniquely blends cutting-edge research and
state-of-the art review articles that take stock of new advances in
multibeam mapping and sediment transport technologies, spatial
analysis and modelling, and the applications of these advances to
the understanding of shelf sediments, morphodynamics, and
sedimentary processes. Case studies are also presented to
illustrate the utilization of seabed property and process knowledge
in habitat mapping and ocean management
With its mix of papers focusing on technological advances,
integration of shelf morphology and processes, and the application
of these advances to coastal and ocean management, this Special
Publication volume will serve as a milestone reference for
professional marine scientists and as advanced text for students in
marine geology, sedimentology and oceanography.
This book is part of the href="http://www.sedimentologists.org/">International Association
of Sedimentologists (IAS) Special Publications.
The Special Publications from the IAS are a set of thematic
volumes edited by specialists on subjects of central interest to
sedimentologists. Papers are reviewed and printed to the same high
standards as those published in the journal href="http://www.iasnet.org/publications/sed.php">Sedimentology
and several of these volumes have become standard works of
reference.

Autoren-Porträt
Michael Li is a research scientist at the Atlantic branch ofthe Geological Survey of Canada. After obtaining degrees from Ocean
University of China and Oregon State University, Michael has worked
in and published on the coastal and shelf systems of China, United
States, and Canada. His current research interests include boundary
layer dynamics and sediment transport processes through in situ
measurements of instrumented seabed landers, offshore geohazards
and mobility of large-scale bedforms through multibeam and sidescan
surveys and sampling, physical and numerical models of
hydrodynamics and sediment transport processes on continental
shelves and in coastal environments.
Chris Sherwood is a research oceanographer with the U. S.
Geologcal Survey and works at the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine
Science Center. Dr. Sherwood studied at Bowdoin College and the
University of Washington. Before joining the USGS, he worked for
the marine research division of the Commonwealth Scientific and
Industry Research Organisation in Hobart, Australia. His research
is focused on development of open-source models for sediment
transport in coastal ocean environment, and on field measurements
to evaluate the models.
Phil Hill is a research scientist with the Geological
Suvey of Canada. Since graduating with degrees from the
University of Oxford and Dalhousie University, he has practiced
marine geology in government, universities and the private
sector. He has published on marine geology and sedimentology
all around Canada, including the east and west coasts, the Beaufort
Sea and Hudson Bay.
