Estuarine and coastal modeling : proceedings of the Tenth International Conference ; November 5 7 2007 Newport Rhode Island Estuarine and Coastal Modeling contains 56 papers on state of the art developments and applications of models to bays sounds lagoons estuaries embayments bights and coastal seas. These papers were presented at the 10th International Conference held November 5 7 2008 in Newport Rhode Island. The conference included 20 oral sessions and one poster session focusing on the application of models to problems in hydrodynamics water quality and sediment transport. Topics discussed include: finite volume methods; shelf sea modeling; estuarine and coastal modeling in Florida; nearshore circulation and dispersion; bay and estuarine circulation; modeling methods; observing modeling and visualization systems; trajectory modeling; sediment transport; storm surge and coastal inundation; and modeling of releases. This proceedings will be a valuable reference for students and practitioners involved in the field of estuarine and coastal engineering.
