Opis

Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review remains one of the most cited sources in marine science and oceanography. The ever increasing interest in work in oceanography and marine biology and its relevance to global environmental issues, especially global climate change and its impacts, creates a demand for authoritative reviews summarizing the results of recent research. OMBAR has catered to this demand since its foundation more than 50 years ago. It is an essential reference for research workers and students in all fields of marine science, and the series volumes find a place in the libraries of not only marine laboratories and institutes but also universities.
