Description / Table of Contents:
Rez.: Oceans cover over 70% of the Earth's surface and are essential to life on this planet. And yet it is only recently that the science and technology of oceanography has matured - indeed, astronauts walked on the surface of the moon before scientists explored the Mid-Ocean Ridge, a great mountain range that covers close to 23% of the Earth's total surface area! Oceanography provides the basis for understanding the ocean's complexities, and an appreciation of the importance of recent discoveries (the volcanism and hydrothermal circulation within the Mid-Ocean Ridge) and improved sampling techniques (advanced remotely operated vehicle sysstems and satellite monitoring).
