Product Description: The continental shelf seas have an importance which is out of proportion to the rela­ tively small fraction of the area of the global ocean which they occupy. These shallow seas play an important role as the high energy boundary zones of the deep ocean where much of the ocean's tidal and wave energies are dissipated...read more

Product Description: The Deep Sea Bed is a collection of papers dealing with the physics, chemistry and biology of the deep sea bed, an important area of marine sedimentary geology. The contributions cover all aspects of the chemical and environmental influences on deposits in the benthic environment...read more

Product Description: The papers in this volume describe some of the more significant developments in marine technology, and assess their potential for the exploitation of marine resources (including the minerals on or under the seabed) and for improved observation of the ocean.

Product Description: This volume presents the results of detailed meteorological and oceanographic observations made in an area of deep water around 59 ˚N and 12˚ 30'W. It will be of particular interest to meteorologists and oceanographers concerned with boundary layer processes, especially those pursuing the prospect of quantitative remote sensing of near-surface meteorological and oceanographic variables...read more
