An essential introduction to the hydrodynamics of estuaries and semi-enclosed bodies of water for advanced students and researchers across a range of disciplines - Earth science, environmental science, biology, chemistry, geology, hydrology, physics - and also for anyone interested in coastal sustainability.

Arnoldo Valle-Levinson is a professor in the Department of Civil and Coastal Engineering at the University of Florida, Gainesville. Throughout his career, he has carried out observational and theoretical studies on exchange processes in semi-enclosed ocean basins. His work has concentrated on the hydrodynamics of fjords and estuaries, as well as of temperate, subtropical, and tropical systems. He is an editor for Continental Shelf Research. He is an associate editor for Estuaries and Coasts and the Journal of Oceanography. Valle-Levinson is the editor of the book Contemporary Issues in Estuarine Physics (2010, Cambridge). He has published over 200 peer-reviewed articles and is a Corresponding Member of the Mexican Academy of Sciences. An estuary in Chile has been named in his honor: 'estero Arnoldo.'
