This textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students presents a multidisciplinary approach to understanding ocean circulation and how it drives and controls marine biogeochemistry and biological productivity at a global scale. Background chapters on ocean physics, che…
This volume is unique in its consideration of severe oxygen depletion in coastal shelf waters from the perspectives of both marine ecology and geology. Seasonal anoxia is a serious problem in the coastal waters of Europe, North America and Japan. Its drastic impact on environmen…
Back cover copy The development of ocean sensors remains a ripe area for future investigation from science, policy and systems engineering standpoints. Clearly, there are many options for realizing integrated molecular analytical sensing systems. The definition of key target mol…
Describes basic statistical theory and relevant physical processes; the numerical model and its global and regional applications; and satellite observation, their interpretation and use in data assimilation.
As in all branches of oceanography progress in ocean optics is being made at a rapid rate. New techniques have made possible improved accuracy in the observations, and extension of measurements to greater depths in the sea. Today optical methods including remote sensing are util…
This textbook discusses the major elements of the geochemical cycles and global fluxes found in the atmosphere, land, lakes, rivers, biota, and oceans, as well as the human effects on these fluxes. It takes an integrated, multidisciplinary, and global approach to geochemistry a…
