Recent Trends in Estuarine and Coastal Dynamics: Observations and Modelling is a thorough reference guide on the most recent trends and developments in observing and modelling of estuaries and coastal oceans. The coasts cover a diverse range of ecosystems within marine, estuarine, and freshwater environments. They are some of the most heavily populated and visited areas and are also some of the most threatened natural habitats. Human activities like sewage discharge, overfishing, navigation channel dredging, land reclamation, the construction of shipping ports and marine plastics are also responsible for coastal pollution and degradation.This book focuses on current studies on sediment transport dynamics and hydrodynamics of these environments and presents thorough case studies that aim to help students and researchers working in the field.

Los 46 capítulos de los que consta el tratado han sido revisados y actualizados en profundidad; algunos se han fusionado, otros han sido redactados por autores distintos respecto de las ediciones previas y, por último, se ha añadido uno nuevo relativo a la salud laboral y la mujer, así como al impacto de las condiciones laborales sobre la fertilidad y el embarazo. Numerosos capítulos (accidente de trabajo y enfermedad profesional, incapacidad laboral, valoración del daño, derecho sanitario, derecho laboral, patologías emergentes, etc.) adquieren especial relevancia en torno a la pericial en salud ocupacional y prevención de riesgos laborales, de ahí su evidente utilidad práctica para los profesionales del Derecho Laboral o materias afines (graduados en Ciencias del Trabajo y técnicos en Prevención de Riesgos Laborales). Se han seleccionado aquellos temas relativos a la seguridad en el trabajo, la higiene industrial, la ergonomía y la psicosociología que mayor repercusión tienen en la génesis de las patologías. Así, este tratado se centra en la vigilancia de la salud, tarea por excelencia de los Servicios de Prevención para conseguir que las empresas sean más saludables. Tratado de Medicina del Trabajo resultará de especial interés para los residentes de Medicina y Enfermería del Trabajo, cuya formación se integra actualmente en las unidades multiprofesionales de medicina y enfermería del trabajo, y que desarrollarán su actividad en las empresas, las mutuas colaboradoras de la Seguridad Social o los Servicios de Prevención. Por todo ello, se incluyen la clásica patología laboral que afecta a los diferentes órganos y sistemas del organismo humano, la toxicología industrial y otros aspectos de interés en vigilancia de la salud, como son la genética aplicada a la salud laboral, la investigación en Medicina del Trabajo, los protocolos de vigilancia de la salud, y la documentación y la organización de la salud laboral en un Servicio de Prevención. Aborda, además, otras especialidades relacionadas con el medio laboral, como la reumatología o la cardiología, que aportan patologías de alta prevalencia entre la población trabajadora.
