Changing Sea Levels is a basic sea level text for all related interdisciplinary studies. It presents an introduction to measurement techniques including satellite altimetry, tidal analysis and prediction, storm surges and flooding risks, and discusses how they are estimated. The author explains the concepts involved in understanding and forecasting future sea level changes and impacts. Examples and illustrations are drawn from all around the world as befits the global nature of the topic." "Based on courses taught by the author in the University of Southampton and the Florida Institute of Technology, this book is aimed at undergraduate students at all levels. Students should have a general background i science. However, the text is developed so that non-basic mathematics is confined to appendices and a website. More advanced students are guided to extend their studies by wider reading. Changing Sea Levels will also interest and inform professionals in many fields including hydrographers, coastal engineers, geologists and biologists, as well as coastal planners and economists.
