We now understand that it plays a key role in biodiversity, climate regulation, and mineral and biological resources, and as such, the ocean is a major service provider for humanity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOceans draws on data from new oceanographic and satellite tools, acquired through international interdisciplinary programs. It describes the processes that control how the ocean functions, on different spatial and temporal scales. After considering the evolution of concepts in physical, chemical and biological oceanography, the book outlines the future of a warmer, acidified, less oxygenated ocean. It shows how a view of the ocean at different scales changes how we understand it. Finally, the book presents the challenges facing the ocean in terms of the exploitation of biological and mineral resources, in the context of sustainable development and the regulation of climate change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Guy Jacques,Paul Tréguer,Herlé Mercier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789450039\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789450033\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley-Iste\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/27\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guy Jacques","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136899559679,"sku":"9781789450033","price":177.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ab53a2ec-04b7-41b0-a263-c31b95099c10.jpg?v=1770165200","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/oceans-guy-jacques-9781789450033","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
