Springer Handbook of Ocean Engineering

---

It is our honor and pleasure to be part of this Springer Handbook that is intended to
serve as a ready reference for ocean engineers, including practitioners in the maritime
industry and government, as well as for researchers, educators, and students, providing
a review of important fundamental and applied materials as well as updates of the contemporary topics in ocean engineering and ocean technologies. The handbook should
be of interest to those involved in the many aspects of ocean engineering, including the
design, development and operations of marine vehicles, coastal systems, and offshore
technologies, as well as in the extraction of renewable ocean energy. At the same time,
it will serve as a guide for anyone interested in the ocean and human activities in the
ocean and the coastal environment. The handbook is divided into five parts comprising
49 chapters that cover ocean engineering basics and four important areas of application: autonomous ocean vehicles, subsystems and control; coastal design; offshore
technologies; and renewable ocean energy. The coverage includes fundamental concepts, basic theories, methodologies, tools, and techniques involved in various aspects
of the subject. The authors of the chapters of the handbook are specialists in their respective fields worldwide, and include well-accomplished individuals from academia,
industry, and government. Each chapter has been peer reviewed. The participation of
these select authors and peer reviewers has helped ensure that the handbook is an excellent and timely reference. The Springer editorial team has beautifully produced each
chapter, including numerous custom drawings and figures. Keywords on each page are
properly indexed for the convenience of the reader browsing through the handbook,
enabling relatively easy location of material of interest in the handbook.
Our sincere gratitude are due, first of all, to the part editors for their efforts in
scoping out the five parts, identifying and enlisting subject-matter experts as chapter
authors, guiding the arrangement of the chapters in the parts, following up with authors, and finally seeking peer reviews of the chapters, thereby determining the scope
and quality of the handbook. Second, our sincere thanks to all the authors for taking
the time from their busy schedules to participate in this project, and devoting much
time to carefully preparing their chapters. Further, we very much appreciate the selfless efforts of the peer reviewers for providing critical reviews of the chapters. Finally,
we are significantly indebted to Springer’s entire publishing team, including Werner
Skolaut, Leontina Di Cecco, Veronika Hamm, Judith Hinterberg, and Constanze Ober
for their knowledgeable advice, guidance, dedication, significant patience, and effective and efficient editing, which have been instrumental in ensuring timely and quality
production of this handbook in support of the ocean engineering community. Part C on
coastal design is dedicated to the late Professor Robert Dean for his many important
contributions to coastal engineering.
