This edition includes several articles that address important recent developments in the field, including global research programs dealing with ocena circulation, sea level, climate, and deltas. Other articles discuss advances in marine technology and challenge the way the world communities manage their oceans. Finally, several contemporary articles describe continuing research in the field and in the laboratory in such areas as sea level and climate change and gas hydrates.Product Details
