Against the backdrop of the environmental setting of the subequatorial NE Pacific abyssal plain, the book will characterise the meiobenthos as an ecological category in the deep sea and introduce research lines meiobenthic studies are applied to, including environmental assessments of human-induced disturbance of the deep seafloor.

To better understand the various processes and interactions that govern the Earth system and to determine whether recent human-induced changes could ultimately de-stabilise its dynamics, both natural system variability and the consequences of human activities have to be observed and quantified.

Over the last few decades inversion concepts have become an integral part of experimental data interpretation in several branches of science.

Since 1980 a considerable amount of scientific research dealing with geochemical processes in marine sediments has been carried out.

A major task for physical oceanographers is to determine the movement of oceanic water from observations.

Physical Oceanography of the Dying Aral Sea describes the background, present crisis state, and possible future of this peculiar inland water body from the physical oceanographic standpoint.

This book represents the most comprehensive description of the physical properties including geometry, structure, spatio-temporal evolution and remotely sensed reflectance and emissivity in visible, IR and microwave ranges of one of the most important elements of disturbed sea surface - sea waves breaking.

The author presents in The Drift of Sea Ice the fundamental laws of sea ice drift which come from the material properties of sea ice and the basic laws of mechanics.

Buried waste on the seabed is a major source of pollution.

Marine environmental conditions such as storms, storm surges and wave heights are directly experienced by, for example, off-shore operations or coastal populations.

The oceans cover 70% of the terrestrial surface, and exert a pervasive influence on the Earth's environment but their nature is poorly recognized.

Sometimes known as "e;Red Tides"e;, some of the wide variety of phytoplankton species in the World's oceans produce toxins which can harm marine life.

This unique book written by Russian and Norwegian scientists is an analysis of studies based on extensive data analysis and numerical modelling simulations of the White Sea and provides a quantitative assessment of vulnerability of the White Sea marine ecosystems of future anthropogenic and, to some extent, climate change forcing.

The Second Edition of The Drift of Sea Ice presents the fundamental laws of sea ice drift which come from the material properties of sea ice and the basic laws of mechanics.

"e;Animots marins et maux sous-marins"e; revele un univers passionnant dans lequel se melent humour, poesie et savoirs aquatiques.

Die Erde ist ein Wasserplanet: Zwei Drittel ihrer Oberflache sind vom Ozean bedeckt.
