Proceedings of Ports 2004 conference, held in Houston, Texas, May 23-26, 2004. Sponsored by the Ports and Harbors Technical Committee of the Coasts, Oceans, Ports, and Rivers Institute of ASCE; U.S. Section of the Permanent International Association of Navigation Congresses. Cosponsored by Port of Houston Authority; Dredging Contractors of America; International Association of Ports and Harbors; Canadian Society of Civil Engineers; Japan Society of Civil Engineers. This collection contains 136 papers that discuss current progress in port and harbor facilities development. The papers address complex, innovative, and state-of-the-art technical topics associated with planning and permitting; environmental, geotechnical, and seismic concerns; design and construction; security; and maintenance and operations of worldwide port and harbor facilities.

Proceedings of the Fifth International Coastal Dynamics Conference, held in Barcelona, Spain, April 4-8, 2005. Sponsored by Laboratori D.enginyeria Martima Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya. Supported by International Centre for Coastal Resources Research; E.T.S. D'enginyers de Camins, Canals i Ports de Barcelona; D.G. de Investigacion, Ministerio de Educacion y Ciencia; D.G. de Costas, Ministerio de Medio Ambiente; Dursi, Generalitat de Catalunya; Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya. With cooperation of the Coasts, Oceans, Ports, and Rivers Institute of ASCE. This collection contains 118 papers comprising a valuable source of information on coastal dynamics from the latest research to the newest engineering applications. Coastal zones are fragile environments that support many conflicting uses, particularly in developed countries. To diagnose and mitigate problems, the complex dynamics of coastal zones, especially processes and scales, must be carefully analyzed. These papers investigate the coexistence of scales and the roles they play in episodic events. Topics include: bed/suspended fluxes, coarse to silt sediments, morphodynamics in various environments, sediment fluxes with and without structures, and the interaction with climactic drivers and coastal structures at various scales.

Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Estuarine and Coastal Modeling, held in Newport, Rhode Island, November 5-7, 2007. This collection contains 56 papers on recent developments and applications of estuarine and coastal models, primarily focusing on bays, sounds, lagoons, estuaries, embayments, bights, and coastal seas. Papers focusing on the application of models to problems in hydrodynamics, water quality, and sediment transport. Topics include: finite-volume methods, shelf sea modeling; estuarine and coastal modeling in Florida; nearshore circulation and dispersion; bay and estuarine circulation; modeling methods; observing, modeling, and visualization systems; trajectory modeling; sediment transport; storm surge and coastal inundation; and modeling of releases.

Proceedings of the Tsunami section of the Solutions to Coastal Disasters 2008 conference, held in Turtle Bay, Oahu, Hawaii, April 13-16, 2008. Sponsored by the Coasts, Oceans, Ports, and Rivers Institute of ASCE; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminstration; U.S. Geological Survey. This collection contains 24 papers discussing the most current research on tsunamis, including planning and preparedness, field and experimental studies and building design, numerical modeling, tsunami deposits, risk assessment and mitigation. Along with the companion volume, Solutions to Coastal Disasters 2008, this collection will be essential to engineers, managers, planners, scientists, geologists, economists, oceanographers, and meteorologists working in the coastal zone.

Sponsored by the Council on Disaster Risk Management Sea Level Rise and Coastal Infrastructure: Prediction, Risks, and Solutions analyzes the challenges posed by rising sea levels and climate change. Scientists estimate that global sea levels could rise by as much as 20 feet in this century, directly affecting about 100 million people worldwide. Although the problems stemming from higher sea levels are formidable, immediate actions can be identified and executed to lessen the impact of rising waters on coastal infrastructure and communities. Using a risk analysis and management framework, each chapter in this volume focuses on a facet of sea level rise, examining its associated risks and assessing its socioeconomic impact. From this information, appropriate long-term measures and mitigation strategies can be developed. Chapters consider such questions as: How can we model the impact of rising sea levels and increasingly intense tropical storms on coastal infrastructure? What strategies can be phased in to improve new construction? How can existing infrastructure best be targeted for retrofitting? How can risk models be designed to accommodate regional socioeconomic considerations? Engineers, scientists, and policymakers concerned with planning, design, and construction of coastal infrastructure will find this compact assessment useful, relevant, and thought-provoking.
