Investigating Oceanography 2nd Edition

This introductory oceanography text is intended to teach students the tremendous influence oceans have on our lives. They are encouraged to view oceanography as a cohesive and united discipline rather than a collection of subjects under a marine umbrella. Investigating Oceanography teaches students about the ocean environment’s historical, geological, physical, chemical, and biological characteristics using remarkable images and photos. The authors have incorporated essays written by several scientists discussing topics in their fields of specialization. In addition to understanding processes and principles, the authors believe students must have a basic command of the language of marine science to understand the constant barrage of information concerning our planet and marine issues. By the end of this course, the authors want students to be prepared for future environmental discussions and the ability to make decisions as informed global citizens.
