Since the HMS Challenger expedition of 1872-1876, our vision of the
ocean has changed completely. We now understand that it plays a key
role in biodiversity, climate regulation, and mineral and
biological resources, and as such, the ocean is a major service
provider for humanity. Oceans draws on data from new oceanographic
and satellite tools, acquired through international
interdisciplinary programs. It describes the processes that control
how the ocean functions, on different spatial and temporal scales.
After considering the evolution of concepts in physical, chemical
and biological oceanography, the book outlines the future of a
warmer, acidified, less oxygenated ocean. It shows how a view of
the ocean at different scales changes how we understand it.
Finally, the book presents the challenges facing the ocean in terms
of the exploitation of biological and mineral resources, in the
context of sustainable development and the regulation of climate
change.
