  • Constraints and Adaptations to Global Change at the Land-Sea Interface: For a Shared Ecological and Energy Transition

    Proceedings of the 19th French—Japanese Oceanography Symposium

    Series series Springer Nature Proceedings excluding Computer Science
    Coastal or semi-enclosed seas, coastal or interface zones between land and sea are areas widely coveted by numerous human activities. These activities do not assess the effects and impacts of their cumulative pressures on the natural environment: coastal development, tourism, terrestrial pollution, maritime transport, dredging and piling, extraction of marine aggregates and development or planned ...

  • Evolution of Marine Coastal Ecosystems under the Pressure of Global Changes

    Proceedings of Coast Bordeaux Symposium and of the 17th French-Japanese Oceanography Symposium

    Series series Springer Nature Proceedings excluding Computer Science
    Coastal and estuarine environments at the interface of terrestrial and marine areas are among the most productive in the world. However, since the beginning of the industrial era, these ecosystems have been subjected to strong anthropogenic pressures intensified from the second half of the 20th century, when there was a marked acceleration in the warming (climate change) of the continents, ...

  • Ocean in the Earth System

    Complexity is an intrinsic property of natural systems. In the oceanic system, it is linked to many interactions with the atmosphere, geosphere and biosphere with which it exchanges energy and matter.Complexity of the ocean system has, at different spatial and temporal scales, hydrodynamic mechanisms of these exchanges and dynamics of elements and compounds, they are involved in biogeochemical ...

  • Oceanography Challenges to Future Earth

    Human and Natural Impacts on our Seas

    This book documents the effects of natural hazards on coastal ecosystems in detail. The sea is an indispensable component of the Earth system, and human societies obtain many goods and services from the marine environment. Global warming threatens marine ecosystems through seawater temperature rise, acidification, sea-level rise and the increased frequency of severe storms. The repeated effects of ... Read more
