      title = {Environmental oceanography and coastal dynamics : current  scenario and future trends /},
      abstract = {This book deals with every aspect of oceanography in  detail including various aspects of physical, chemical,  geological, and biological discourse. Earth and Planetary  Science is perhaps the oldest, dynamic, and ever-evolving  subject. Oceanography is one of its domains, which has  become important in the present date, given the ubiquitous  and undeniable climate change that we are experiencing. The  subject domain of oceanography encompasses several  environmental issues, which need serious attention from the  present scientific community. Despite the oceans  significant role in the collective well-being of the human  race, a multitude of anthropogenic activities has  drastically polluted and degraded several crucial oceanic  ecosystems within a short span. This book aims to present a  concise yet succinct introduction to Oceanography as a  subject and at the same time highlight the cutting-edge  topics of research encompassing marine pollution, coastal  processes, and many other associated phenomena.  Oceanography is an interdisciplinary emerging subject and  students all over the world who come from varied  disciplines are pursuing it as higher studies. Long  sections are devoted to oceanatmosphere interaction, tides,  waves, and related coastal processes. The book represents a  comprehensive idea of human activities bestowing the ocean  with particular reference to Indian examples. This book  helps to understand marine pollution and the behavior of  oil, plastic, and other agents in the light of real-world  examples and empirical models. Harnessing electricity from  waves and tides is a technological advancement in the field  of unconventional energy. The vast resources of the ocean  like oil, mineral, methane hydrate, and their proper  estimation and exploitation is the topic of discussion in  the third part of the book. This book is designated to meet  the essential needs of the students studying oceanography  and marine science. It may be helpful to professional  oceanographers also.},
