| marine science textbook: An Introduction to Marine Science P. S. Meadows, J. I. Campbell, 2012-12-06 It is now nine years since the first edition appeared and much has changed in marine science during that time. For example, satellites are now routinely used in remote sensing of the ocean surface and hydrothermal vents at sea floor spreading centres have been extensively researched. The second edition has been considerably expanded and reorganised, and many new figures and tables have been included. Every chapter has been carefully updated and many have been rewritten. A new chapter on man's use of the oceans has been included to cover satellites and position fixing, renewable energy sources in the sea, seabed minerals, oil and gas, pollution and maritime law. In this edition we have also referred to a number of original references and review articles so that readers can find their way into the literature more easily. As in the first edition, PSM has been mainly responsible for the text and lIC for the illustrations, although each has responded to advice from the other and also from many colleagues. In this context readers should note that the illustrations form an integral and major part of the book. The text will almost certainly be too concise for many readers if they do not study the illustrations carefully at the same time. The book has been written as an introductory text for students, although it can serve anyone who is beginning a study of the sea. |

| marine science textbook: How the Ocean Works Mark Denny, 2012-01-02 The world's oceans account for roughly 71 percent of the planet's surface and 99 percent of its livable volume. Any study of this huge habitat requires a solid foundation in the principles that underlie marine biology and physical and chemical oceanography, yet until now undergraduate textbooks have largely presented compilations of facts rather than explanations of principles. How the Ocean Works fills this gap, providing a concise and accessible college-level introduction to marine science that is also ideal for general readers. How are winds and currents driven? What is the dilemma of the two-layered ocean? Mark Denny explains key concepts like these in rich and fascinating detail. He explores early scientific knowledge of oceans, photosynthesis, trophic interactions and energy flow, and the impacts of human activities on marine and atmospheric systems. Focusing each chapter on a major topic and carefully explaining the principles and theory involved, Denny gives readers the conceptual building blocks needed to develop a coherent picture of the living ocean. How the Ocean Works is an indispensable resource that teaches readers how to think about the ocean--its biology, mechanics, and conservation. Provides a concise, up-to-date introduction to marine science Develops the conceptual basis needed to understand how the ocean works Explains fundamental principles and theory Includes color illustrations and informative diagrams Serves as a college textbook and a reference for general readers Some images inside the book are unavailable due to digital copyright restrictions. |

| marine science textbook: Student Workbook for Amsco's Marine Science* 3rd Edition by Thomas F. Greene David Tamm, 2018-03-14 This companion volume to Amsco's Marine Science: Marine Biology and Oceanography 3rd edition* is filled with vocab, activities and assignments that follow the Greene text page by page. Teachers can copy weekly packet assignments from it, or it can be used by students as a consumable. It can be used on short notice if there is a sub, or be assigned as homework. All the student needs is the textbook, physical or electronic. The rationale for having this workbook as a consumable is publishers now put much of their ancillary content online, leaving traditional pen & paper work lacking. Yet, many students still find it valuable to write and keep notes for themselves, and portfolios still matter. The activities in this new edition challenge students to apply the concepts, give examples, diagram chapters, and think things through with the author. For other titles in this series, find TTT on FB, or click the name at the top of this page, especially for AP courses and Social Studies. Coursepak B for the Greene text is available too, containing warm-ups, bell-ringers and multimedia activities. |

| marine science textbook: Oceanography and Marine Biology David W. Townsend, 2012-08-20 Oceanography and Marine Biology preserves the basic elements of the physical, chemical, and geological aspects of the marine sciences, and merges those fundamentals into a broader framework of marine biology and ecology. Existing textbooks on oceanography or marine biology address the companion field only cursorily: very few pages in oceanography texts are devoted to marine biology, and vice versa. This new book overcomes that imbalance, bringing these disparate marine science text formats closer together, giving them more equal weight, and introducing more effectively the physical sciences by showing students with everyday examples how such concepts form the foundation upon which to build a better understanding of the marine environment in a changing world. Lecturer supplements will also be available. |
