Oceanographic Processes of Coral Reefs 2nd Edition

Grab your copy of Oceanographic Processes of Coral Reefs, 2nd Edition by Eric Wolanski and Michael J. Kingsford — an indispensable resource for anyone studying or managing coral reefs worldwide. This authoritative guide illuminates the physical and biological oceanographic forces that shape coral reef systems, from hydrodynamics and sediment transport to nutrient fluxes and larval dispersal.

With clear explanations grounded in the latest research, the book connects theory to real-world reef environments — the Great Barrier Reef, Caribbean atolls, and Indo-Pacific reef systems — making complex processes accessible to students, marine scientists, coastal managers, and conservationists. Practical case studies and regional examples help translate science into actionable insights for reef monitoring, restoration, and climate resilience planning.

Why this edition stands out: it synthesizes multidisciplinary science into a readable, evidence-based narrative that supports fieldwork, policy development, and academic study. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how oceanographic drivers influence coral health, sediment dynamics, and ecosystem connectivity — essential knowledge for anyone involved in reef conservation or coastal management.

Whether you’re preparing for research, designing conservation strategies, or simply passionate about coral reefs, Oceanographic Processes of Coral Reefs offers the clarity and depth you need. Order now to strengthen your understanding of the ocean forces that sustain — and threaten — the world’s coral reefs.
