A continuing, comprehensive and timely survey of the state of
knowledge of ocean science, this distinguished series provides an
overview of research frontiers as ocean science progresses. Areas
covered include physical, biological, and chemical oceanography,
marine geology, and geophysics and the interactions of the oceans
with the atmosphere, the solid earth, and ice. Because ocean
science is evolving so rapidly, straining the boundaries of
traditional sub-disciplines, interdisciplinary topics have a
special place in this series--including those topics related to the
application of ocean science, for example, to ocean technology,
marine operations, and the resources of the sea. As a treatise on
advances and new developments, each topical volume starts with
fundamentals and covers recent progress, so as to provide a
balanced account of how oceanography is evolving.
Previous volumes (1-12) in the series are now available from
Harvard University Press.
In the manifold, multidisciplinary efforts of science to
understand and manage our planet, contemporary ocean science plays
an essential role. Volumes 13 and 14 of the series The Sea focus on
two of the most important components in the interdisciplinary field
of ocean science today--the coastal ocean and its interactions with
the deep sea, and coupled physical-biogeochemical and ecosystem
dynamics.
Comprehensive, definitive studies, these volumes chart the real
progress being made by ocean scientists in achieving lasting
scientific understanding; specifically, they address issues
surrounding significant applications--for coastal regions and in
general--such as: the development of monitoring and prediction
systems;functionality and stability of ecosystems; eutrophication;
harmful algae blooms; habitat modification; and regime shift.
Intended as companion volumes to Volumes 10 and 11 on physical
coastal oceanography, these studies of the global coastal ocean
continue the series' overall effort to encourage and facilitate
coastal and shelf ocean sciences and technology on a global
basis.
