Based on a fifty-year study conducted by the Leibniz Institute for
Baltic Sea Research, this book brings together a comprehensive
summary of their observations and findings. Written by well-known
experts, this revealing book concentrates on long-term changes in
the Baltic Sea?which can be extrapolated to shed light on the
environmental problems of other shelf seas, brackish seas, and
large estuaries?thereby contributing to our understanding of water
exchange processes, eutrophication, and climatic impacts at the
forefront of international concern.
