Description
The Encyclopedia of Ocean Sciences is the most current, authoritative, and comprehensive resource on the science of the
oceans. This ambitious work includes contributions from leading scientists around the world on the physical processes that drive the
oceans and the chemical, biological, and geological disciplines. The Encyclopedia also covers ancillary topics such
as ocean technology, law of the oceans, global programs, marine policy, the use of the oceans for food and energy, and the impact of
pollution and climate changes. The many different methods used to study the oceans are covered, from ship-based systems to satellite
remote sensing.
Users will enjoy easy access to more than 400 articles, each approximately 3000-4000 words in length with further reading
lists and extensive cross referencing. Each article provides comprehensive coverage of a particular topic, and is designed for a wide
audience of students, academics, researchers, and professionals. The articles are written at a level that allows undergraduate students
to understand the material, while providing active researchers with the latest technical information.
