About this book
Oceanography of the Mediterranean Sea: An Introductory Guide provides a comprehensive but concise introduction to the physical oceanography of one of the most fascinating marginal seas, the Mediterranean Sea. The book is primarily focused on the state-of-the-art understanding of the physical functioning of the Mediterranean Sea, while embracing the fundamentals of associated geological and chemical processes.
Written by multiple scientists active over many years in the Mediterranean marine community, the book provides a broad overview on the information needed to get a robust background on the physical oceanography of the Mediterranean Sea for students in oceanography, climate science, marine geology and chemistry or scientists unfamiliar with the region.
- Provides a comprehensive but concise introduction to the physical oceanography of the Mediterranean Sea
- Presents the existing links between climate, ocean, biogeochemical cycles and geological evolution at the Mediterranean scale
- Presents clear examples of the Mediterranean region, as well as comparisons with other regions globally
