Sea-level science: understanding tides, tsunamis and mean sea-level changes

---

Sea level change for man reasons and on many timescale, and extreme sea levels can result in cartophic coastal flooding, such as the Katrina storm surge in 2005 or the Sumatera tsunami in 2004. As global sea level rises and coastal populations increase, understanding sea-level processes becomes key to plan future coastal defence effectively.
Ocean tides, strom surges, tsunami, El Nino and the sea-level rise caused by climate change are among the processes explained in this book. Building on David Pugh's classic graduate level book Tides, Surges and Mean Sea Level, this sustaintialy update and expanded full collor book now incorporates majoe recent technological advances in the areas of satellite altimetry and other geodetic techniques (particularly GPS), tsunami science, measurement of mean sea level and analyses of extreme sea levels. The authors, both leading international experts in prividing and understanding of present-day sea-level change and more realiable forecasts of future changes.
Giving the how and the why of sea level change on timescales from hours to centuries, this authoritative and exciting book is ideal for graduate students and reseachers working in oceanography, marine engineering, geodesy marine geology, marine biology and climatology. It will also be of key interest to coastal engineers and govermental policy makers
