商品描述
This book provides an introduction to ocean sciences that is engaging, evocative and accessible to non-experts interested in marine geoscience, while sparking readers' interest in important unsolved mysteries in marine science. The scope of the book is quite broad, but focuses on the physical ocean and its geological evolution, including the author's experiences working as an oceanographer over the last thirty years. Across twelve chapters, the book traces the origins of the ocean from its formation 4 billion years ago, reviews the discoveries of the theory of plate tectonics, the ice ages and the great ocean conveyor, and discusses seafloor features (canyons, seamounts, trenches, abyssal plains, etc.), how they formed and their current environmental issues. The book concludes with a prognosis for the future ocean we might expect with global climate change and other human impacts. This second edition provides updated information throughout, adds two new chapters on coral reefs and submarine canyons, and includes study questions at the end of each chapter.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書提供了一個引人入勝、富有啟發性且易於非專家理解的海洋科學介紹，特別是對於對海洋地球科學感興趣的讀者，同時激發讀者對海洋科學中重要未解之謎的興趣。這本書的範圍相當廣泛，但重點放在物理海洋及其地質演變上，包括作者在過去三十年作為海洋學家的經驗。全書共分為十二章，追溯海洋自四十億年前形成的起源，回顧板塊構造理論、冰河時期及大洋環流的發現，並討論海底特徵（如峽谷、海山、海溝、深海平原等）、它們的形成過程及當前的環境問題。書末對全球氣候變遷及其他人類影響下未來海洋的預測作了總結。本書第二版在各處提供了更新的信息，新增了兩章關於珊瑚礁和海底峽谷的內容，並在每章結尾附上學習問題。
作者簡介
Peter Townsend Harris graduated from the University of Washington (Seattle, USA) and completed a PhD at the University of Wales (Swansea, UK). He has worked in marine geoscience for over 40 years and published over 130 scientific books and articles on marine geology, environmental assessments, global seafloor geomorphology and oceanography. He was awarded the SEPM Shepard Medal for Marine Geology in 2018. He taught marine geology at the University of Sydney and conducted research on Australia's Great Barrier Reef and the Fly River Delta (Papua New Guinea). From 1994 to 2014 he was a leader of Australia's Antarctic geoscience programme and a senior manager with Geoscience Australia. Peter was Managing Director of GRID-Arendal, a UNEP collaborating centre, from 2014 to 2023. He is currently an Adjunct Professor with the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) at the University of Tasmania, Hobart.
