Beyond the "classical" research fields in marine geology in current time more general concepts have been evolved integrating marine geophysics, hydrography, marine biology, climatology and ecology. As an umbrella the term "marine geosciences" has been broadly accepted for this new complex field of research and the solutions of practical tasks in the marine realm. The "Encyclopedia of Marine Geosciences" comprises the current knowledge in marine geosciences whereby not only basic but also applied and technical sciences are covered. Through this concept a broad scale of users in the field of marine sciences and techniques is addressed from students and scholars in academia to engineers and decision makers in industry and politics Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on August 12, 2019) In Springer Nature Living Reference Subject Submarine geology -- Encyclopedias Marine geophysics -- Encyclopedias Oceanography.
