Readers will learn about the the application of different paleoecological approaches used in estuaries that develop our understanding of their response to natural and human influences. Particular attention is given to the essential steps required for undertaking a paleoecological study, in particular with regard to site selection, core extraction and chronological techniques, followed by the range of indicators that can be used. A series of case studies are discussed in the book to demonstrate how paleoecological studies can be used to address key questions, and to sustainably manage these important coastal environments in the future. This book will appeal to professional scientists interested in estuarine studies and/or paleoenvironmental research, as well as estuarine managers who are interested in the incorporation of paleoenvironmental research into their management programs. 410 0$aDevelopments in Paleoenvironmental Research,$x1571-5299 ;$v20 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aSedimentology 606 $aEnvironmental geology 606 $aEnvironmental geology 606 $aOceanography 606 $aBiotic communities 606 $aEnvironmental Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009 606 $aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/215000 606 $aSedimentology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17080 606 $aGeoecology/Natural Processes$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U21006 606 $aOceanography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G25005 606 $aEcosystems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L1904X 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aSedimentology. 615 0$aEnvironmental geology. 615 0$aEnvironmental geology. 615 0$aOceanography. 615 0$aBiotic communities. 615 14$aEnvironmental Management. 615 24$aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management. 615 24$aSedimentology. 615 24$aGeoecology/Natural Processes. 615 24$aOceanography. 615 24$aEcosystems. 676 $a562 702 $aWeckström$b Kaarina$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSaunders$b Krystyna M$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGell$b Peter A$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSkilbeck$b C.
