Invitation to Oceanography, Eighth Edition introduces students to the key concepts from geology, chemistry, physics, and biology as they relate to ocean environments and processes. This comprehensive text helps students learn how scientists interpret data, taking raw knowledge and transforming it into real understanding.
A unique aspect of this edition is the introduction of Complexity Theory. Complexity Theory boxes introduce two powerful techniques for analyzing complex systems—panarchies and stability landscapes. These methods for unpacking complexity are applied to a variety of systems, such as plate tectonics, migrating barrier islands, coral reefs, food webs, and fisheries.
