A richly illustrated guide to the marvelously diverse plankton of the world and their fundamental role in planetary food websPlankton are the unsung heroes of planet Earth.
An epic excursion into one of the last great frontiers on EarthThe deep ocean comprises more than 90 percent of our planet's biosphere and is home to some of the world's most dazzling creatures, which thrive amid extreme pressures, scarce food supplies, and frigid temperatures.
The first compact field guide to offshore sea life of the East CoastTwo-thirds of our planet lies out of sight of land, just offshore beyond the horizon.
Ecological Informatics promotes interdisciplinary research between ecology and computer science on elucidation of principles of information processing in ecosystems, ecological sustainability by informed decision making, and bio-inspired computation.
Immerse yourself in the beachcombing experience; the wind in your face, the smell of salt spray, the roar of the ocean; it's an assault on the senses, the perfect tonic.
The Marine World is a book for everyone with an interest in the ocean, from the marine biologist or student wanting expert knowledge of a particular group to the naturalist or diver exploring the seashore and beyond.
From the North Carolina's Outer Banks to Maine's rocky coast, this comprehensive guidebook covers the ecology, wildlife, plants and ocean creatures in full-color photographs and vivid detail.

From an Indiana farm boyhood to uranium surveys in the American West, offshore seismic vessels, Arctic ice, African beaches, Southeast Asian pipeline landfalls, and the long strange business of building a life, Citizen of the World follows a geologist who kept saying yes to the next improbable assignment.
A seagoing scientist explores how life thrives in one of the most mysterious environments on EarthThe open ocean, far from the shore and miles above the seafloor, is a vast and formidable habitat that is home to the most abundant life on our planet, from giant squid and jellyfish to anglerfish with bioluminescent lures that draw prey into their toothy mouths.
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2024 im Fachbereich Geowissenschaften / Geographie - Ozeanographie, Meereskunde, Note: 1,0, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit geht auf die Hauptursachen des globalen Rückgangs der Fischbestände ein und diskutiert anschließend mögliche Maßnahmen, die getroffen werden können, um die Bestände nachhaltig zu schützen.
The California Current part of the large, swirling North Pacific gyre flows slowly southward along the west coast of North America, stretching nearly 2,000 miles from southern British Columbia to the tip of Baja California in Mexico.

Although climate change is reducing the extent of sea ice in the polar region, it also enlarges the operation time window and enables more ships to choose routes where ice is prevalent.

This textbook provides a mathematical introduction to the theory of large-scale ocean circulation and is accessible for readers with an elementary knowledge of mathematics and physics, including continuum mechanics and solution methods for ordinary differential equations.
This volume is the result of the dedicated effort undertaken by an international group of scientists and administrators, who have contemplated the challenge of the future of space-based earth science for the next decade.
"Dorthin zu gehen, wo noch kein Mensch gewesen ist“ – das ist nicht nur das Motto der Science-Fiction-Serie Star Trek, sondern auch das der meisten Meereswissenschaftler.
As connecting link between the Antarctic and the North Atlantic, the South Atlantic plays an important role in the distribution of heat in the North Atlantic and in the biogeochemical budget of all oceans.
The aim of this International Symposium on Dynamics of Vibro-Impact Systems is to provide a forum for the discussion of recent developments in the theory and industrial applications of vibro-impact ocean systems.
Global environmental change (including climate change, biodiversity loss, changes in hydrological and biogeochemical cycles, and intensive exploitation of natural resources) is having significant impacts on the world's oceans.
Aimed at graduate students, researchers and academics in mathematics, engineering, oceanography, meteorology and mechanics, this text provides a detailed introduction to the physical theory of rotating fluids, a significant part of geophysical fluid dynamics.
The reconstruction of ancient marine environments is an important task of the Earth Sciences, of great interest to geology, pure and applied, to oceanography and climatology, as well as to such fields as ecology and evolution.
While ecology is one of the scientific disiplines that most clearly belongs to 'basic research"e;, it also strives to serve as a predictive tool for management.
This book covers the deformation formulation at the source, the initial tsunami wave, its propagation, and run-up, along with the mathematical formulation for generating the initial wave, its propagation, run-up, and inundation.
