Dynamics of the Coastal Zone
The coastal zone is the host to many human activities, which have significantly increased in the last decades. However, sea level rise and more frequent storm events severely affect beaches and coastal structures, with negative consequences and dramatic impacts on coastal communities. These aspects add to typical coastal problems, like flooding and beach erosion, which already leading to large economic losses and human fatalities. Modeling is thus fundamental for an exhaustive understanding of the nearshore region in the present and future environment. Innovative tools and technologies may help to better understand coastal processes in terms of hydrodynamics, sediment transport, bed morphology, and their interaction with coastal structures. This book collects several contributions focusing on nearshore dynamics, and span among several time and spatial scales using both physical and numerical approaches. The aim is to describe the most recent advances in coastal dynamics.

Blue
"Pat Grant is serious about comics." -- Scott McCloud, author of Understanding Comics, Reinventing Comics, and Making Comics "Blue is everything a good comic can be."-- Shaun Tan, author of The Arrival and Tales from Outer Suburbia "An affecting coming-of-age graphic memoir."-- Paul Gravett, author of Graphic Novels: Stories to Change Your Life "Complex and beautiful... an uncommonly sophisticated look at prejudice and localism."-- Andy Khouri, ComicsAlliance "While this graphic novel is strongly rooted in its Australian setting, the thorny questions of cultural identity, assimilation, and inexorable change are applicable to any place that sets up divides between people. So, to everywhere."-- Ian Chipman, Booklist "Stunningly accomplished...a surf-punk-scored reflection on old friends and the roots of racism. Grant's Blue is a wholly original, enormously entertaining comic, heralding a new talent that we may be enjoying for decades to come."-- Noel Murray, The AV Club "Grant's dialogue is keenly observed and the cast's grinning, scowling, spitting faces are enormously expressive. Where Blue succeeds most, though, is its sense of place."-- Martyn Pedler, Bookslut Blue is the debut graphic novel of Australian cartoonist Pat Grant. It's a fascinating blend of autobiography and fiction with a sci-fi twist: in a seaside Australian town struggling with alien tentacle-creature immigration, a trio of aimless teenagers skip school to go surfing, chase rumors of a dead body, and avoid dealing with their own fears.
