Tidal Wave Impact offers a comprehensive exploration of how tidal waves shape coastal regions, influence climates, and transform habitats. Diving into the geophysical dynamics, the book highlights the importance of understanding tidal wave mechanics, detailing how the gravitational forces of the moon and sun, ocean bathymetry, and coastal geomorphology impact these natural phenomena. It further investigates ecological ramifications, examining how tidal waters create unique, specialized intertidal habitats and influence water quality.
The book emphasizes the increasing pressures faced by coastal regions due to rising sea levels and climate change, which intensify the impact of tidal waves. It argues that understanding tidal wave dynamics and their ecological effects is essential for effective coastal management, informing infrastructure design, land-use planning, and adaptive strategies. Through case studies of salt marshes, mangrove forests, and sandy beaches, Tidal Wave Impact synthesizes findings and explores practical applications, such as coastal defenses and early warning systems.
Integrating ecological and engineering perspectives, the book begins with foundational concepts of tidal wave generation and propagation, progressing through detailed case studies and culminating in practical applications for coastal management. It distinguishes itself by providing insights into the ecological resilience of coastal habitats and engineering solutions for coastal protection, making it a valuable resource for scientists, policymakers, and coastal communities.
