The Sea: Ideas and Observations on Progress in the Study of the Seas

In multidisciplinary efforts to understand and manage our planet, contemporary ocean science plays an essential role. Volumes 13 and 14 of The Sea focus on two of the most important components in the field of ocean science today—the coastal ocean and its interactions with the deep sea, and coupled physical–biogeochemical and ecosystem dynamics.

The world’s foremost experts write about the dynamics of geophysical processes involved in tsunami generation, propagation, and inundation, along with the statistical and geophysical properties of tsunami recurrence, and their application to tsunami forecasts and warnings.

Any viable strategy for sustaining the world’s oceans must reflect the relationships among all ecosystem components, human and nonhuman species included. Marine Ecosystem-Based Management is a state-of-the-art synopsis of the conservation approaches that are currently being translated from theory to action on a global scale.
