The Sea: Ideas and Observations on Progress in the Study of the Seas
The Sea is a continuing, comprehensive, and timely synthesis of the state of knowledge of ocean science. Topical areas for volumes include physical, biological, and chemical oceanography, marine geology and geophysics, and the interactions of the oceans with the atmosphere, the solid earth, and ice.
