  • Wind Generated Ocean Waves

    by I.R. Young ...
    Series Book 2 - Elsevier Ocean Engineering Series
    The goals of wind wave research are relatively well defined: to be able to predict the wind wave field and its effect on the environment. That environment could be natural (beaches, the atmosphere etc.) or imposed by human endeavour (ports, harbours, coastal settlements etc.). Although the goals are similar, the specific requirements of these various fields differ considerably.This book attempts ... Read more

  • The Mid-Oceanic Ridges

    Mountains Below Sea Level

    Translated by T. Reimer ...
    by Adolphe Nicolas ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Over the past 20 years, geologists have come to realize that the real object of their studies is the Earth, and that their favorite subjects, whether basalts, earthquakes, or the Tibetan plateau (for example) are only the means to understanding the Earth itself as a complete entity. Geology has thus acquired aglobai perspective. The study of any particular regional problem is only of general ... Read more

  • Modeling Coastal Hypoxia

    Numerical Simulations of Patterns, Controls and Effects of Dissolved Oxygen Dynamics

    Edited by Dubravko Justic, Kenneth A. Rose, Robert D. Hetland, Katja Fennel ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book provides a snapshot of representative modeling analyses of coastal hypoxia and its effects. Hypoxia refers to conditions in the water column where dissolved oxygen falls below levels that can support most metazoan marine life (i.e., 2 mg O2 l-1). The number of hypoxic zones has been increasing at an exponential rate since the 1960s; there are currently more than 600 documented hypoxic ... Read more

  • The Relevance of Manganese in the Ocean for the Climatic Cycles in the Quaternary

    Vorgelegt in der Sitzung vom 18. November 1989

    by Augusto Mangini, Anton Eisenhauer, Peter Walter ...
    Series series Sitzungsber.Heidelberg 90
    It is widely accepted that there is a relationship between ice volume and the solar insolation in summer in the northern hemisphere. The Earth's glacial cycles are driven by cyclic changes in the Earth's orbital elements. This conclusion is based on the strong coherence between the approx. 20000 and 40000 year spectral components of ice volume and insolation (Milankovitch-curve) records. These ... Read more

  • Pitfalls of Shoreline Stabilization

    Selected Case Studies

    Edited by Orrin H. Pilkey, J. Andrew G. Cooper ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    At the coast all is not what it seems. Decades of beachfront development have seen a variety of efforts to stabilize the shoreline to protect ill-placed beachfront property, both from shoreline erosion and from storm damage. Both of these problems become increasingly critical in a time of rising sea level. Many natural beaches are backed by sea walls, while others have been transformed by whole ... Read more

  • Carbon Cycling in the Baltic Sea

    by Karol Kulinski, Janusz Pempkowiak ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    The Baltic Sea is an area extensively explored by the oceanographers. Hence it is one of the most often described marine areas in the scientific literature. However, there are still several fields which are poorly investigated and reported by scientists. One of them is the carbon cycle of the Baltic Sea. Although it is believed the shelf seas are responsible for about 20% of all marine carbon ... Read more
