This postgraduate, comprehensive, reference and source book introduces readers to tides, tidal currents, storm surges and sea level trends in coastal regions. It is equally an important work for teachers, researchers, planners and engineers responsible for coastal defences and new infrastructure and waterway modification. From his dichotomous expertise as scientist and teacher at the renowned Virginia Institute of Marine Science, Professor Boon provides informative detail and data, making this text worthwhile for readers who need a wider understanding of this increasingly important topic for coastal zone residents. For MATLAB-using students, researchers and engineering consultants, simple-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI) programs are introduced and available free-of-charge for downloading. These programs provide the tools for analyzing water level or water current observations, derive the major tidal constituents, and show first hand how tide and tidal predictions are made.
