Advances In Coastal And Ocean Engineering, Vol 6

This volume consists of five articles covering a wide range of topics in coastal engineering. The reader can find a paper discussing the modern optical measurement techniques applied to wave studies. An introductory paper on wavelet theory provides a perspective on coastal and ocean engineering data analysis. For those who are interested in wave modelling, a review article on the stochastic evolution models is included. A detailed review paper on the recent sediment transport research should supply enough motivation for more research in this area. Finally, there is an article reviewing the coastal development and coastal engineering activities in Japanese history.
