There are more coral species in deep, cold-waters than in tropical
coral reefs. This broad-ranging treatment is the first to
synthesise current understanding of all types of cold-water coral,
covering their ecology, biology, palaeontology and geology.
Beginning with a history of research in the field, the authors
describe the approaches needed to study corals in the deep sea.
They consider coral habitats created by stony scleractinian as well
as octocoral species. The importance of corals as long-lived
geological structures and palaeoclimate archives is discussed, in
addition to ways in which they can be conserved. Topic boxes
explain unfamiliar concepts, and case studies summarise significant
studies, coral habitats or particular conservation measures.
Written for professionals and students of marine science, this text
is enhanced by an extensive glossary, online resources, and a
unique collection of colour photographs and illustrations of corals
and the habitats they form.
