520  1   $aThe SCOR (Scientific Committee on Ocean Research
         of ICSU) Working Group 106 was tasked with reviewing the
         geomorphic, sedimentary and oceanographic dynamics of muddy
         costs, assessing the impact of sea level rise on muddy
         coasts, especially in estuaries, and to recommend future
         research pathways relating to muddy coasts.This book
         addresses these questions and includes chapters on the
         research issues of muddy coasts, the definition of muddy
         coasts, sea level rise effects on muddy coasts, fundamental
         dynamic processes effecting muddy coast formation, the role
         of mangrove and salt marsh vegetation, bio-geochemistry of
         muddy coast deposits, storm surge effects on muddy coasts,
         human impacts on muddy coasts, and a detailed geographical
         review of muddy coasts of the world. The volume presents
         examples of muddy coasts sedimentation from many different
         environments of the world including the broad expanse muddy
         coast of China, muddy coasts of continental trailing edges
         (the Americas), muddy coasts in seasonally ice covered
         environments, muddy coasts in areas of tropical coral reefs,
         muddy coasts from the tropics, muddy coasts resulting from
         large river discharges, and muddy coasts of mid-latitude
         oceanic islands.
