Content: Klappentext: "Encyclopedia of Ocean Sciences, Second Edition is a new 6-volume online reference work, pulling together all the key information in one source from the leading publisher in the field. This second edition is online, offering the user greater flexibility, accessibility, and most importantly, usability with 24 hour access, multi-user access, remote access and excellent search functionality. Structured for success, each article contains a glossary, an introduction, a reference section and a wealth of cross-referenced links to premium and related material all accessible in a mouse-click, making complicated, time consuming research a thing of the past. Inside: Approximately 500 articles covering the breadth and depth of the field with over 30% new and updated content reflecting the latest research in the field - Greater coverage of climate, remote sensing, and data modeling, with greater consideration of economic and political aspects provides a broad view of the field - Online availability facilitates easier research and increased productivity.

Content: Rezension: Major reference work, edited by John H. Steele, Karl K. Turekian, and Steve A. Thorpe, covering "the physical processes that drive the oceans and the chemical, biological, and geological disciplines" of marine research. It "also covers ancillary topics such as ocean technology, law of the oceans, global programs, marine policy, the use of the oceans for food and energy, and the impact of pollution and climate changes. The many different methods used to study the oceans are covered, from ship-based systems to satellite remote sensing.
