During recent years, large-scale investigations into global climate change and other highly visible issues have taken the lion's share of declining research funds. At the same time, funding for basic research in such core disciplines as physical oceanography, biological oceanography, chemical oceanography, and marine geology has dwindled. Global Ocean Science examines how the largest U.S. ocean research programs, such as the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) and the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS), have significantly contributed to our understanding of the oceans. The book examines the impact of these programs on research, education, and collegiality within this diverse scientific community and offers recommendations to help ensure a vital future for ocean science, including: Specific results of the programs such as data collected, conceptual breakthroughs, information published, demonstrable use of program products, incorporation of new knowledge into education, and contribution to policymaking and decisionmaking by federal agencies. Mechanisms for efficiently identifying knowledge gaps and research questions, strategic planning of research programs, managing competitive proposals, securing needed resources, and more. This practical book will be welcomed by ocean investigators, users of oceanographic research findings, policymakers, administrators, educators, and students.

Elements of Physical Oceanography provides a broad look at most of the topics of concern to Physical Oceanography without treating any part of the subject matter completely or exhaustively. This book originated in a set of lecture notes for an introductory course in Physical Oceanography given by the author in the Department of Oceanography and Meteorology at Texas A&M University. The book is organized into three parts. Part I on descriptive oceanography covers topics such as nature of oceanographic data, the chemical nature of the ocean, the temperature of the ocean, and temperature-salinity relationships. Part II on oceanic movements discusses accelerations arising from mass distribution and the Earth’s rotation, geostrophic and wind driven currents, waves, and tides. Part III covers various topics such as sound propagation, the heat budget of the ocean, and estuaries. This book aims to provide the non-physical oceanographer with insight into the physical nature of the environment influencing his chosen studies. The physical oceanographer will be somewhat less than satisfied with the treatment and will wish to read the publications referred to and to follow the suggestions for additional reading.

Oceanography has moved into the spotlight of urgent social concern, because of the oceans' impact on issues such as global climate change, biodiversity, and even national security. This new volume points to improved partnerships between ocean scientists, federal agencies, and the oceanographic institutions as the key to understanding the oceans and their effects on our lives. Oceanography in the Next Decade outlines pressing marine research problems and offers recommendations for how they may be solved, with detailed discussions of: How oceanographic research is currently conducted. Recent discoveries and research needs in four subdisciplinesâ€"physical, chemical, geological, and biological. Coastal oceanography, which is important because of growing coastal populations. The infrastructure of oceanography, with a wealth of information about human, equipment, and financial resources. A blueprint for more productive partnerships between academic oceanographers and federal agencies. This comprehensive look at challenges and opportunities in oceanography will be important to researchers, faculty, and students in the field as well as federal policymakers, research administrators, and environmental professionals.

"Oceanography, the study of the ocean, is a field that requires a broad understanding of many disciplines, from biology and ecology, to physics and chemistry, to history and geology. The major disciplines of oceanography are geological oceanography, physical oceanography and chemical oceanography. Oceanographers and others involved in these disciplines often work together to unravel the mysteries and unknowns of ocean science. In reading about each of these sub-fields, keep in mind that some of the most important oceanographic discoveries have been made as a result of an integrated, multidisciplinary approach, often involving geologists, chemists, biologists, physical oceanographers and engineers. As a growing global population stresses the ability of our society to produce food, water and shelter, we will continue to look to the oceans to help sustain our basic needs. Advances in technology, combined with demand, will improve our ability to derive food, drinking water, energy sources, waste disposal and transportation from the ocean. It will be up to this and future generations to build upon our existing knowledge of the ocean and its potential to help meet the needs of the world and its inhabitants. This book covers a wide range of topics, including marine life and ecosystems, ocean circulation, plate tectonics and the geology of the seafloor, and the chemical and physical properties of the ocean. It provides chapters on very different topics under very different settings, some with a focused angle, others with a wider approach, yet all sharing the inspiration that we need to understand the small pieces to put collectively the big picture for a much larger mechanism, the functioning of the ocean as a whole. The modern oceanographic research represents one of the last frontiers of the knowledge of our planet, it depends on the oceans exploration and so it is strictly connected to the development of new technologies. Furthermore, other scientific and social disciplines can provide many fundamental inputs to complete the description of the entire ocean ecosystem."

Oceanography is a fundamental study of physical and biological aspects of ocean. It is an important branch of earth science. It covers a range of topics such as ocean currents, ecosystem dynamics, waves, plate tectonics, fluxes of physical properties and chemical substances within the ocean and across its boundaries, etc. The four main branches of oceanography are biological, chemical, geological and physical oceanography. Biological oceanography deals with the investigation of the ecology of marine organisms. It involves the physical, chemical and geological characteristics of their ocean environment and the biology of individual marine organisms. Chemical oceanography studies the chemistry of ocean which includes the study and understanding of seawater properties and its changes. Geological oceanography deals with in-depth study of geology of ocean floor which also includes study of plate tectonics and paleoceanography. The study of ocean's physical attributes fall under physical oceanography, which involves the studies of temperature-salinity structure, surface waves, internal waves, etc. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of oceanography. It also traces the progress of this field and highlights some of its key concepts and applications. This book is a resource guide for experts as well as students.

The study of the ocean and its biological and physical aspects is known as oceanography. It is an earth science that includes a wide range of topics such as ocean current, ecosystem, and geophysical fluid dynamics. It also encompasses the study of plate tectonics as well as the geology of the sea floor. It examines different physical properties and chemical substances found in the ocean and across its boundaries. It blends the understanding of the processes within a number of disciplines like biology, chemistry, climatology, geology, geography, hydrology, physics and astronomy in order to acquire an in-depth knowledge of the oceans. Biological oceanography and chemical oceanography are two primary branches of oceanography. Biological oceanography includes the ecology of marine organisms. The study is done on the basis of the ecological characteristics of an individual organism and the physical, chemical and geological aspects of its ocean environment. The chemistry of the ocean is studied under chemical oceanography. It is concerned with the understanding of seawater properties. This book covers in detail some existent theories and innovative concepts revolving around biological and chemical oceanography. It includes contributions made by international experts. It is meant for students who are looking for an elaborate reference text on these disciplines.
