Introduction to Coastal Processes and Geomorphology

Introduction to Coastal Processes and Geomorphology

The world's coastlines represent a myriad of dynamic and constantly changing environments. Heavily settled and intensely used areas they are of enormous importance to humans and understanding how they are shaped and change is crucial to our future. Introduction to Coastal Processes and Geomorphologybegins by discussing coastal systems and shows how these systems link to the processes examined in detail throughout the book. These include the morphodynamic paradigm tides waves and sediment transport. Later chapters explore fluvial deltas estuaries beaches and barriers coastal sand dunes and geologically-influenced coasts such as cliffs coral reefs and atolls. A new chapter addresses the forward-facing aspect of coastal morphodynamics including the ways in which coasts respond to rapid climate changes such as present day global warming. Also new to this second edition is a chapter on future coasts which considers the wider effects of coastal change on other important aspects of coastal systems including ecology management socio-cultural activities built and natural heritage and archaeology. Case studies using examples from around the world illustrate theory in practice and bring the subject to life. Each chapter starts by outlining the 'aims' and questions at the end allow you to track your progress.

NMR and Chemistry An introduction to modern NMR spectroscopy Fourth Edition

NMR and Chemistry An introduction to modern NMR spectroscopy Fourth Edition

Keeping mathematics to a minimum this book introduces nuclear properties nuclear screening chemical shift spin-spin coupling and relaxation. It is one of the few books that provides the student with the physical background to NMR spectroscopy from the point of view of the whole of the periodic table rather than concentrating on the narrow applications of 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Aids to structure determination such as decoupling the nuclear Overhauser effect INEPT DEPT and special editing and two dimensional NMR spectroscopy are discussed in detail with examples including the complete assignment of the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of D-amygdain. The authors examine the requirements of a modern spectrometer and the effects of pulses and discuss the effects of dynamic processes as a function of temperature or pressure on NMR spectra. The book concludes with chapters on some of the applications of NMR spectroscopy to medical and non-medical imaging techniques and solid state chemistry of both I = F1/2 and I > F1/2 nuclei. Examples and problems mainly from the recent inorganic/organometallic chemistry literature support the text throughout. Brief answers to all the problems are provided in the text with full answers at the end of the book. | NMR and Chemistry An introduction to modern NMR spectroscopy Fourth Edition
