Fjords are both an interface and a buffer between glaciated continents and the oceans. Fjords are unique estuaries and represent a large portion of the earth's coastal zone. Throughout this book, we emphasize the potential of modeling pro cesses in fjords, with comparisons to other estuary, lake, shelf and slope, and open ocean environments.
