An introduction to oceanography -- The oceanic topography -- Marine pollution -- Biology of the oceans environment -- Energy power for the sea and water -- Geology of the ocean floor -- Equation of state of sea water and temperature -- Marine resources and pollution -- Water resources and environmental information system -- Environmental management in water pollution -- Oceanography and oceans.

Summary: "Oceanographic ecology is concerned with environmental factors and problems of organic adjustments quite different from those in fresh water. Animals are relatively more conspicuous than plants. Oceanography, also known as oceanology, is the branch of Earth science that studies the ocean. It covers a wide range of topics, including ecosystem dynamics; ocean currents, waves, and geophysical fluid dynamics; plate tectonics and the geology of the sea floor; and fluxes of various chemical substances and physical properties within the ocean and across its boundaries. These diverse topics reflect multiple disciplines that oceanographers blend to further knowledge of the world ocean and understanding of processes within: astronomy, biology, chemistry, climatology, geography, geology, hydrology, meteorology and physics. Paleoceanography studies the history of the oceans in the geologic past. Oceanography has been aptly defined as the study of the world below the surface of the sea: it should include the contact zone between sea and atmosphere. Present-day acceptance it has to do with all the characteristics of the bottom and margins of the sea, of the sea water, and of the inhabitants of the latter. Oceanographic environment in its all dimensions is thoroughly discussed in this book."--Back cover
