The percentage composition of the subject matter of this revised edition is approximately the same as that for the first, but the number of chapters has increased significantly. This necessitated the publication of a companion volume. In addition to dealing with various geophysical exploration methods, it adds and emphasizes the use of radiometric methods to explore for hard minerals found in sediments on and beneath the ocean floor.

Exploration of the oceans using the techniques of the geophysicist has had a profound influence on our understanding of the Earth and its behaviour through time. Observations in the deep ocean have played a key role in establishing modern plate tectonic theory, transforming Earth Science in ways that were quite unexpected when the first geophysicists put to sea. Measurements in shallower waters have revealed how continental margins form, subside and become covered with sedimentary accumulations.

В брошюре рассказывается о минеральных ресурсах морского дна и о технике, которая используется для их разработки.
Рассматривается также вопрос о международно-правовом режиме дна океана.
Брошюра рассчитана на лекторов, студентов — будущих геологгж и на широкий круг читателей.

Монография представляет собой фундаментальное обобщение больших региональных материалов по геохимии литогидросфе-ры на основании всестороннего изучения иловых, поровых вод и всей окружающей их среды. Во внутренних морях и океане выявлены региональные, фациальные и генетические закономерности формирования химического состава иловых вод на стадиях седиментации, диагенеза и эпигенеза донных отложений.

About 15 years ago Orson van de Plassche and we discussed putting together a successor to the extremely successful reference book Sea-level Research: A Manual for the Collection and Evaluation of Data that he edited. It was published in 1986 but never re-printed.

Минеральные ресурсы океанов и морей неисчерпаемы. В морской воде содержатся почти все химические элементы периодической системы, и расширение использования их в практической деятельности людей неизмеримо увеличит природные ресурсы Земли

В книге собран интересный материал о химическом составе океанической и морской воды, об условиях формирования солевых бассейнов, о добыче и использовании хлорного натрия, калийных солей и фосфоритов, кальция, магния, алюминия, брома, йода, фтора и других элементов. Авторы книги – участники многих научных экспедиций по исследованию морских заливов и соляных озер – использовали в своей работе полученные ими оригинальные материал

Книга написана в научно-популярной форме и будет интересна широкому кругу читателей

This planet contains so much water that perhaps it should have been better named Oceania. It is the only known body in the solar system that is surrounded by water filled with unique geologic structures and teeming with a staggering assortment of marine life. Some of the strangest creatures on Earth, whose ancestors go back several hundred million years, live on the deep ocean floor.
