The field of marine science began when the first human species walked out of the African savannah and came across a huge body of water. These humans primarily dominated the landmasses, and the question of water travel emerged as they evolved and started looking for alternate means of exploration. For eons, the deep, dark ocean remained a mystery, but during the 20th century, scientists began exploring the marine environment as never before.Marine Science: Decade by Decade documents the history of this science throughout the 20th century. From Swedish hydrographer Otto Pettersson and the...

A History of Notable Research and DiscoveryThe 20th century witnessed an explosive growth in science and technology. New inventions--including spaceships, computer chips, lasers, and recombinant DNA--have opened pathways to new fields such as space science, biotechnology, and nanotechnology. Modern seismographs and submarines have given Earth and ocean scientists insight into the planet's deepest and darkest secrets. Decades of weather science, aided by satellite observations and computer modeling, now produce long-term global forecasts with high probabilities of being correct.The...
