Biological Oceanography: Instructors Manual/Artwork CD–ROM

Biological Oceanography provides a comprehensive, up–to–date introduction to many aspects of ocean ecology. Taking a biological approach, it looks at the ecology of all marine life and covers recent developments that have allowed a re–examination of the ocean’s microbial ecology and the role of the various trophic and organismal groups in biogeochemical cycling, carbon flow, and climate control. Coverage includes pelagic, benthic, and hydrothermal habitats, modeling and fisheries.
This book is essential reading for advanced students in biological oceanography, marine biology, and general marine science courses.
Special features of Biological Oceanography are:

Descriptions of all the prominent groups of organisms
Basic process models with programs included
Techniques and terminology included in explanatory boxes
Extensive color–plate section
Over 200 illustrations

Nota biograficzna:
Charlie Miller has taught both undergraduate and graduate courses in biological oceanography for many years a t Oregon State University. During those years, he has studied the zooplankton communities of the Oregon upwelling zone and Oregon estuaries, the pelagic ecology of the Gulf of Alaska, the life histories of planktonic copepods, and several varieties of population modeling.
