Oceans of Data

This introductory oceanography book explores the oceans as interconnected geological, chemical, physical, and biological systems. Topics include plate tectonics, ocean sediments, seawater properties, climate and circulation, carbon cycling, ocean acidification, El Niño, and marine productivity, showing how ocean processes shape Earth’s climate, ecosystems, and environment.
