Oceanography: An Invitation to Marine Science 10th Edition By Tom Garrison

A History of Marine Science – Early voyaging for trade anthropogenic climate change. Freshwater Processes and Ecosystems and how they link with marine ecosystems Biological Oceanography & Ecosystems biological resources (fisheries aquaculture) Circulation of the Atmosphere – Weather atmospheric density wind patterns and storms like tropical cyclones Circulation of the Ocean – Surface currents gyres boundary currents and deep thermohaline circulation Coasts – Erosional and depositional coastlines beaches estuaries lagoons and human interactions with shifting shores deep-ocean basins hydrothermal vents and submarine topography. Earth Structure and Plate Tectonics – The inner layers of the Earth evidence for continental drift Foundations & Marine Geology Life in the Ocean – The mechanics of marine life evolution energy transfer and the classification of marine organisms Marine Animals – Invertebrates vertebrates (fishes reptiles birds mammals) Marine Communities – Ecological relationships across specific ecosystems like coral reefs deep-sea floors and rocky intertidal zones Marine Resources – Physical resources (petroleum minerals) Ocean Basins – Continental margins Ocean Chemistry – Salinity dissolved gases the ocean's acid-base balance and chemical cycles Ocean Sediments – Classification and distribution of marine sediments (neritic pelagic) Physical & Chemical Oceanography Primary Producers – Expanded coverage on photosynthetic and chemosynthetic organisms (phytoplankton algae plants) renewable energy and ocean law. The Ocean and the Environment – Pollution (including plastics) habitat destruction Resources Human Impact & Freshwater Systems the history of ocean exploration The Origin of the Ocean – The formation of the universe stars solar systems Tides – The gravitational pull of the sun and moon dynamic theory of tides and tidal patterns around the globe Water and Ocean Structure – The physical properties of pure water and seawater Waves – The physics of wind waves deep-water and shallow-water waves tsunamis and seiches
