Ocean Currents
Physical Drivers in a Changing World
Ebook (EPUB Format)
Ocean Currents of the World: Physical Drivers in a Changing World opens with an introduction to ocean currents, covering basic principles of cause and effect, measurement and modeling, etc. The book is made up of a sequence of chapters covering distinct aspects of contrasting ocean currents: broad and slow, deep and shallow, narrow and swift, large-scale and small-scale, low latitudes and high latitudes, and moving in horizontal and vertical planes. Through this approach, the authors cover a range of applications, from local to global, with considerable geographical context. Each chapter concludes with an assignment and accompanying resource,…

Each chapter concludes with an assignment and accompanying resource, thus helping readers apply the information.Presents applications to natural phenomena, showing how ocean currents shape marine ecosystems Helps researchers understand the distribution and adaptation of life in the oceansAddresses societal challenges, specifically how ocean currents contribute to climate change impacts and disperse pollutants (e.g., plastic)Includes end-of-chapter assignments, suggesting how students might apply their understanding of ocean currents

Über den Autor
Professor Robert Marsh holds a Chair in Oceanography and Climate at the University of Southampton. With disciplinary expertise in Physical Oceanography, he has a wide range of experience across ocean and climate science, and specifically an in-depth knowledge of ocean currents. Examples of applied studies include the influences of ocean currents on sea turtle hatchlings, volcanic pumice and icebergs. He has extensive experience of undergraduate and postgraduate oceanography teaching, both in the classroom and in the field. He is lead or co-author of 76 peer-reviewed publications, with an h-index of 30 (Web of Science, October 2017).
