Comment on this resource
Featuring more than 150 photographs, maps, and NASA satellite images, this atlas charts and celebrates every aspect of the ocean world, from tiny plankton to massive storm systems that rage across thousands of miles. Experts have contributed essays and sidebars on subjects as diverse as deep-sea archeology, plate tectonics, coral reefs, mapping techniques, and El Nino. Readers also go behind the scenes to observe modern science at work, as researchers pursue promising leads in dozens of different but intertwined fields.
