| marine science textbook: Oceanography and Marine Biology David W. Townsend, 2012-08-20 Oceanography and Marine Biology preserves the basic elements of the physical, chemical, and geological aspects of the marine sciences, and merges those fundamentals into a broader framework of marine biology and ecology. Existing textbooks on oceanography or marine biology address the companion field only cursorily: very few pages in oceanography texts are devoted to marine biology, and vice versa. This new book overcomes that imbalance, bringing these disparate marine science text formats closer together, giving them more equal weight, and introducing more effectively the physical sciences by showing students with everyday examples how such concepts form the foundation upon which to build a better understanding of the marine environment in a changing world. Lecturer supplements will also be available. |
| marine science textbook: Modeling Methods for Marine Science David M. Glover, William J. Jenkins, Scott C. Doney, 2011-06-02 This advanced textbook on modeling, data analysis and numerical techniques for marine science has been developed from a course taught by the authors for many years at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. The first part covers statistics: singular value decomposition, error propagation, least squares regression, principal component analysis, time series analysis and objective interpolation. The second part deals with modeling techniques: finite differences, stability analysis and optimization. The third part describes case studies of actual ocean models of ever increasing dimensionality and complexity, starting with zero-dimensional models and finishing with three-dimensional general circulation models. Throughout the book hands-on computational examples are introduced using the MATLAB programming language and the principles of scientific visualization are emphasised. Ideal as a textbook for advanced students of oceanography on courses in data analysis and numerical modeling, the book is also an invaluable resource for a broad range of scientists undertaking modeling in chemical, biological, geological and physical oceanography. |

| marine science textbook: Oceanography Textbook Alan Garrison, 2021-07-30 Have you ever think about what lies in the ocean? How can oceanography help us? Or how it can influence our lives? Oceanography, a combination of physical and biological sciences, may seem like an obscure or tedious subject, but it is fascinating and vitally important to know. It examines the plant and animal life in the oceans' depths as well as the conditions that exist there that are so extreme. For example, oceanographers study currents to predict weather patterns for us on land. Currents at the ocean floor seem to have an effect on weather patterns on land too. Oceanographers are also studying how the oceans affect weather and climate. The more they understand about the oceans, the better we will be able to predict changes in climate that could impact us here on land. A record of sea level and temperatures of North American coastlines goes back thousands of years. At that point in time, the oceans were much more extensive, as you can see in this picture. In the last few decades, oceanographers have been able to unlock some clues about how the world's oceans have changed over time by examining fossils. This book covers Oceanography Marine Geography Tides Currents Ocean Current and Climate Water Properties in the Ocean Marine Life And The Environment Effects of Exploitation and Pollution on Ocean Ecosystems Oceanography and Humanity And much more. Many sea creatures left traces of their existence in rock layers and layers of sediment that became part of Earth's crust. These rocks formed over millions of years, so there is a record from thousands of years ago to today. Because of the geological clues found in fossils, oceanographers now know that the ocean's temperature has changed and continuously changed as time goes by. The oceans take up a lot of heat from the sun. Water also holds more heat than air because it is much denser. Surprisingly, a slight change in temperature can cause considerable changes in water density because it is so sensitive to temperature changes. Oceanography is essential for our health. Oceanic pollutants, for example, can be hazardous to many marine organisms and humans. These pollutants can include mercury and pesticides that wash off of ships into the ocean and stay there for long periods of time before bacteria break them down into more minor compounds. These tiny compounds eventually make their way to the ocean floor, where they are taken up by phytoplankton in the ocean's water column. Another pollutant found in the oceans is plastic. Plastic bags, packaging, synthetic fishing lines, and other items are polluting the ocean's water. Many studies underway determine how much of these pollutants are being taken up by sea life, and sooner or later, it will end up on our dinner plates. Sea level change has been a critical focus for oceanographers because of its impact on human society. In addition to contributing to climate change, sea-level change is directly associated with flooding of coastal areas and erosion along river banks and mountain ranges. Learning about oceanography can help us understand the natural world around us because it combines chemistry, physics, biology, and marine science. Because of this, it is a great way to learn more about the world we live in. |

| marine science textbook: An Introduction to Marine Science P. S. Meadows, J. I. Campbell, 2012-12-06 It is now nine years since the first edition appeared and much has changed in marine science during that time. For example, satellites are now routinely used in remote sensing of the ocean surface and hydrothermal vents at sea floor spreading centres have been extensively researched. The second edition has been considerably expanded and reorganised, and many new figures and tables have been included. Every chapter has been carefully updated and many have been rewritten. A new chapter on man's use of the oceans has been included to cover satellites and position fixing, renewable energy sources in the sea, seabed minerals, oil and gas, pollution and maritime law. In this edition we have also referred to a number of original references and review articles so that readers can find their way into the literature more easily. As in the first edition, PSM has been mainly responsible for the text and lIC for the illustrations, although each has responded to advice from the other and also from many colleagues. In this context readers should note that the illustrations form an integral and major part of the book. The text will almost certainly be too concise for many readers if they do not study the illustrations carefully at the same time. The book has been written as an introductory text for students, although it can serve anyone who is beginning a study of the sea. |

| marine science textbook: Eddies in Marine Science A. R. Robinson, 2012-12-06 It is now well known that the mid-ocean flow is almost everywhere domi nated by so-called synoptic or meso-scale eddies, rotating about nearly vertical axes and extending throughout the water column. A typical mid ocean horizontal scale is 100 km and a time scale is 100 days: these meso scale eddies have swirl speeds of order 10 cm s -1 which are usually con siderably greater than the long-term average flow. Many types of eddies with somewhat different scales and characteristics have been identified. The existence of such eddies was suspected by navigators more than a century ago and confirmed by the world of C. O'D. Iselin and V. B. Stock man in the 1930's. Measurements from RIV Aries in 1959/60, using the then newly developed neutrally buoyant floats, indicated the main char acteristics of the eddies in the deep ocean of the NW Atlantic while a se ries of Soviet moored current-meter arrays culminated, in POLYGON- 1970, in the explicit mapping of an energetic anticyclonic eddy in the tropical NE Atlantic. In 1973 a large collaborative (mainly U. S. , U. K. ) program, MODE-I, produced synoptic charts for an area of the NW At lantic and confirmed the existence of an open ocean eddy field and es tablished its characteristics. Meso-scale eddies are now known to be of interest and importance to marine chemists and biologists as well as to physical oceanographers and meteorologists. |

| marine science textbook: How the Ocean Works Mark Denny, 2012-01-02 The world's oceans account for roughly 71 percent of the planet's surface and 99 percent of its livable volume. Any study of this huge habitat requires a solid foundation in the principles that underlie marine biology and physical and chemical oceanography, yet until now undergraduate textbooks have largely presented compilations of facts rather than explanations of principles. How the Ocean Works fills this gap, providing a concise and accessible college-level introduction to marine science that is also ideal for general readers. How are winds and currents driven? What is the dilemma of the two-layered ocean? Mark Denny explains key concepts like these in rich and fascinating detail. He explores early scientific knowledge of oceans, photosynthesis, trophic interactions and energy flow, and the impacts of human activities on marine and atmospheric systems. Focusing each chapter on a major topic and carefully explaining the principles and theory involved, Denny gives readers the conceptual building blocks needed to develop a coherent picture of the living ocean. How the Ocean Works is an indispensable resource that teaches readers how to think about the ocean--its biology, mechanics, and conservation. Provides a concise, up-to-date introduction to marine science Develops the conceptual basis needed to understand how the ocean works Explains fundamental principles and theory Includes color illustrations and informative diagrams Serves as a college textbook and a reference for general readers Some images inside the book are unavailable due to digital copyright restrictions. |
| marine science textbook: Biological Oceanography Charles B. Miller, Patricia A.
