Dynamic Modeling for Marine Conservation

Dynamic Modeling for Marine Conservation edited by Matthias Ruth, James Lindholm.

The oceans are shrinking. They're not literally shrinking; warming in the last century has actually expanded the sea enough to threaten low-lying coastal lands that are vul­ nerable to storm surge. During the same interval, however, events on land have increasingly affected the sea. Since in mo...
