Description
Oceanography is a comprehensive overview of the science of the seas, written by two leading experts in the field. The book explores the key role oceans play in the Earth System, and the vital role they play in regulating global climate. With a focus on the forces at work within the oceans, the authors examine the effects of light, the chemistry of the seas, and the food web, before delving into the biology of the main oceanic regions.
