Coastal fluxes in the anthropocene

"This book synthesizes knowledge on coastal and riverine material fluxes, biogeochemical processes and indications of change, and the human influence, before looking at future research and management needs. It is a milestone rather than a destination on the journey which continues under the new International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP), the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environment Change (IHDP) and the LOICZ (Land-Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone) Project."--Jacket.
