In the past few years rapid progress has been made regarding our understanding of one of the dominant phytoplankton groups of the world's oceans: the coccolithophores.
At present, studies of the Arctic Basin are of particular importance to the world scientific community due to the strong influence of this region on the global climate, its enormous mineral and hydrocarbon resources, the poor knowledge about the polar biosphere, and the growing anthropogenic pollution of the Arctic (Gramberg et al.
Ecological Informatics is defined as the design and application of computational techniques for ecological analysis, synthesis, forecasting and management.
For over twenty years, the Joint Program in Physical Oceanography of MIT and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution has based its education program on a series of core courses in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics and Physical Oceanography.
The global environment is changing rapidly under the impact of human activities, and an important element of this change is related to global c1imate modification.
The modem geological sciences are characterized by extraordinarily rapid prog- ress, as well as by the development and application of numerous new and refined methods, most of them handling an enormous amount of data available from all the continents and oceans.
This volume has grown from an Autumn School about "e;Analysis of Climat~ Variability - Applications of Statistical techniques"e; on Elba in November 1993.
EUROPEAN SCHOOl OF CLiMATOlOGY AND NATURAL HAZARDS The training of scientific and technical personnel and the development of highly qualified scientists are, and have always been, among the important concerns of the European Commission.
Over the past 20 years, geologists have come to realize that the real object of their studies is the Earth, and that their favorite subjects, whether basalts, earthquakes, or the Tibetan plateau (for example) are only the means to understanding the Earth itself as a complete entity.
The book presents short papers of participants of the 10th International Scientific Conference and School for Young Scientists Physical and Mathematical Modeling of Earth and Environment Processes.
Synthetic Aperture Radar Image Processing Algorithms for Nonlinear Oceanic Turbulence and Front Modelling is both a research- and practice-based reference that bridges the gap between the remote sensing field and the dynamic oceanography exploration field.
Ganz schön spannend: das geheime Leben der MeereMonsterwellen, die sich aus dem Nichts auftürmen und sogar Ölplattformen verschlingen; Frachter, die blitzschnell in die Tiefe gerissen werden; Geisterschiffe, Riesenkraken und Seeschlangen – alles nur Seemannsgarn?
Von den Lagunen in Baja California bis zu den Gletschern des Nordpolarmeers legen Grauwalmütter mit ihren Kälbern jährlich Tausende von Meilen in dem sich aufgrund des Klimawandels erwärmenden Meer zurück.
Dieses Lehrbuch gibt dem Studenten einen Überblick über alle wichtigen Lebensräume des Meeres: von den Küstengebieten bis hin zur Tiefsee und dem Meeresboden, von den Packeiszonen bis zu den Korallenriffen.
Remote Sensing of the Changing Oceans is a comprehensive account of the basic con-cepts, theories, methods and applications used in ocean satellite remote sensing.
Drawing on the expertise of marine researchers from both the natural and social sciences, this book examines how we, as both scientists and societies, can return to a sustainable co-existence with the ocean and use the tools of transdisciplinarity to bring together the diverse forms of knowledge needed to achieve this important task.
Based on the very successful German edition and a seminar held by the German Engineers` Association (VDI) on a regular basis for years now, this English edition has been thoroughly updated and revised to reflect the latest developments.

A wide variety of marginal basins, ranging from polar to equatorial regions, and a few sizeable enclosed basins, can all be included among the Asian Seas.
This textbook introduces step by step the basic numerical methods to solve the equations governing the motion of the atmosphere and ocean, and describes how to develop a set of corresponding instructions for the computer as part of a code.
This edited volume is the premier book dedicated exclusively to marine science education and improving ocean literacy, aiming to showcase exemplary practices in marine science education and educational research in this field on a global scale.
This manual describes the wide range of electromechanical, electrochemical and electro-optical transducers at the heart of current field-deployable ocean observing instruments.
This book integrates a variety of issues such as regional settings of productivity and nutrient cycling; plankton of coastal and shelf systems; plankton, climate change and human-induced changes; harmful algae and their impacts; and gelatinous zooplankton.
This book contains the most complete description of the geologic and geophysical data of the structure of Arctic Basin including structures of the earth's crust, crustal and acoustic basement, and sedimentary cover.
This book provides an overview of the major changes induced by hydrocarbons (HCs) affecting rocks and surface sediments and their implications for non-seismic exploration methods, particularly for marine territories near Cuba.
