Broad Scale Coastal Simulation New Techniques to Understand and Manage Shorelines in the Third Millennium / edited by Robert J. Nicholls, Richard J. Dawson, Sophie A. Day (née Nicholson-Cole).

This volume details research underpinning the ‘Coastal Simulator’ developed by the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research. The Simulator provides a framework to analyze long term coastal evolution taking account of all the relevant factors. These include the uncertain future climate and other co...
