  • Ocean Resources

    Volume II Subsea Work Systems and Technologies

    Edited by D.A. Ardus, M.A. Champ ...
    Ocean engineering is generally considered to be concerned with studies on the effects of the ocean on the land and with the design, construction and operation of vehicles, structures and systems for use in the ocean or marine environment. The practice of engineering differs from that of science in both motivations and objectives. Science seeks understanding of the principles of nature in terms of ... Read more

  • Ocean Resources

    Volume I: Assessment and Utilisation

    Edited by D.A. Ardus, M.A. Champ ...
    Today western nations consume annually only a small percentage of their resources from the sea, despite the proclamation of Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) by many. In contrast, most Pacific Basin Countries obtain more than a quarter of their annual needs from the ocean. Determination of greater rewards from the development of marine resources is markedly inhibited by the limited technical ... Read more

  • Safety in Offshore Drilling

    The Role of Shallow Gas Surveys, Proceedings of an International Conference (Safety in Offshore Drilling) organized by the Society for Underwater Technology and held in London, U.K., April 25 & 26, 1990

    Edited by D.A. Ardus, C.D. Green ...
    Series Book 25 - Advances in Underwater Technology, Ocean Science and Offshore Engineering
    Shallow Gas determination, prior to drilling, is carried out using 'Engineering Seismic' survey methods. Seismic acquisition data quality is fundamental in achieving this objective as both the data processing methods and interpretation accuracy are subject to the quality of the data obtained. The recent application of workstation based data analysis and interpretation has clearly demonstrated the ... Read more

  • Natural Gas Hydrate

    In Oceanic and Permafrost Environments

    Edited by M.D. Max ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    THE BEGINNINGS OF HYDRATE RESEARCH Until very recently, our understanding of hydrate in the natural environment and its impact on seafloor stability, its importance as a sequester of methane, and its potential as an important mechanism in the Earth's climate change system, was masked by our lack of appreciation of the vastness of the hydrate resource. Only a few publications on naturally occurring ... Read more

  • Ocean Biogeochemistry

    The Role of the Ocean Carbon Cycle in Global Change

    Edited by Michael J.R. Fasham ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Oceans account for 50% of the anthropogenic CO2 released into the atmosphere. During the past 15 years an international programme, the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS), has been studying the ocean carbon cycle to quantify and model the biological and physical processes whereby CO2 is pumped from the ocean's surface to the depths of the ocean, where it can remain for hundreds of years. This ... Read more
