Introduction to Coastal Processes and Geomorphology (Cambridge University Press, 2019) Written for anyone interested in coastal geomorphology, this is the complete guide to the processes at work on our coastlines and the resulting features seen in coastal systems across the world. Accessible to students from a range of disciplines, the quantitative approach of this book helps to build a solid understanding of waves and current processes that shape coastlines. From sandy beaches to coral reefs, the major coastal features are related to contemporary processes and to sea-level changes over the past 25,000 years. Key equations describing these processes and standard methods and instrumentation used to collect measurements are all presented in this wide-ranging overview. Designed to support a one- or two-semester course and grounded in current research, this second edition has been substantially updated and rewritten – featuring cutting-edge new topics, insights from new models and technologies, additional global examples and an enhanced package of online teaching materials.<\/p>\n (Description Source: Cambridge University Press<\/a>) Bernard Bauer<\/strong> is a professor of Earth, Environmental and Geographic Sciences at the University of British Columbia (Okanagan). He is a process geomorphologist interested in understanding how contemporary processes on Earth\u2019s surface create landforms and landscapes. He\u2019s generally intrigued by how the natural world works, ideally absent the influence of people, animals, and vegetation, which tend to complicate things immensely.<\/p>\n Dr. Bauer has conducted research and taught undergraduate and graduate courses on a broad range of Earth surface processes including geomorphology, hydrology, water resources, boundary layer dynamics, sediment transport mechanics, waves and currents in nearshore systems, and environmental monitoring. His field research has taken him to coastal beaches along the shores of British Columbia, Ontario (Great Lakes), California, Florida, New York, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand as well as to rivers in British Columbia, Arizona, and Wyoming.\u00a0 He has also held many administrative positions including Associate Provost at UBC Okanagan, inaugural Dean of the Irving K. Barber School of Arts & Sciences at UBC Okanagan, Dean of the Faculty of Science at Okanagan University College, Department Chair at the University of Southern California, and Program Director at the US National Science Foundation. Despite having lived in major metropolitan areas (Toronto, Baltimore, Los Angeles) for much of his adult life, he now enjoys the rural lifestyle on acreage near Lumby, BC.<\/p>\n Chris Houser <\/strong>is a coastal geomorphologist at the University of Windsor, (Ontario).<\/p>\n Robin Davidson-Arnott\u00a0<\/strong>has been a professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Guelph (Ontario) since 1976.<\/p>\n http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/y5swnn2n<\/a><\/p>\n From the Publisher – Cambridge University Press<\/a><\/span> Paper ISBN:\u00a0<\/span>9781444122404 The University of British Columbia Okanagan Classroom Artwork Project<\/em> aims to display academically inspiring artwork in classrooms and other teaching areas of the university.<\/span><\/p>\n Artwork displayed as part of this project \u2013 including the covers of books and journals containing work written or edited by UBCO scholars and researchers \u2013 is intended to help enliven university teaching spaces, educate classroom users about the connections between research and teaching, and introduce members of the broader public to some of the research and scholarship carried out at UBCO.<\/span><\/p>\n
