Oceanography and Marine Biology, An Annual Review, Volume 22 (Oceanography and Marine Biology)

This book provides a review covering the basics of marine research, special topics, and emerging areas in fields of oceanography and marine biology. It is intended for researchers and students in all fields of marine science. Content: Currents in the Eastern Irish Sea / M.J. Howarth -- Emergence of optical instrumentation for measuring biological properties / Clarice M. Yentsch and Charles S. Yentsch -- Mixing and plankton : an interdisciplinary theme in oceanography / P. Tett and A. Edwards -- Effects of physical processes on planktonic ecosystems in coastal oceans / Kenneth L. Denman and Thomas M. Powell -- Manganese in the marine environment / G.P. Glasby -- Heavy metals and coral reefs / L.S. Howard and B.E. Brown -- Ecological energetics from total lipid and total protein : fact and artifact using a gravimetric method for lipid and a biuret method for protein c.c / E. Hopkins, J.V. Siering, O. Nyholmen and A. Hermannsen -- Biochemical metabolic regulatory responses of marine invertebrates to natural environmental change and marine pollution / John Blackstock -- Aspects of flowering and pollination in marine angiosperms / J.P. Pettitt -- Feeding in the chaetognatha / David L. Feigenbaum and Robert C. Maris -- Ecophysiology of marsupial development and reproduction in Mysidacea (Crustacea) / Karl J. Wittmann -- Competition between marine organisms : ecological and evolutionary implications / G.M. Branch. Manuscripts continue to be submitted to this series of Annual Reviews. Thedesire to publish in it must reflect its importance and value to marine scientists ingeneral. Many experts are still willing, and even anxious, to accept invitations tocontribute articles. This is all very gratifying to me as the editor and to thepublishers; it ensures the continuation of the Series. As always, it is a pleasure to acknowledge the help of all the contributors andtheir willingness to accede to editorial requests. I am especially grateful for thehelp and advice of many colleagues including, in particular, Dr Examines the role of the new technologies of geographical information systems and remote sensing as media for the study of landscape, as they provide tools which collect, store, manipulate and analyze data so as to support and assist the decisions
