Overview
This book contains papers from the Fifth International Conference on Environmental Problems in Coastal Regions and its associated Fourth International Seminar on Hydrocarbon Spills, Modeling, Analysis, and Control. The coastal environment meeting dealt with problems related to monitoring, analysis, and modeling of coastal regions, including sea and air phenomena. An important part of the meeting involved discussing ecological and environmental problems and water quality. The seminar addressed topics related to soil and land oil spills, with papers on modeling oil slicks, the development of adequate oil spill contingency plans, and issues related to prevention and clean up. The US office of WIT Press is Computational Mechanics. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
