Marine Geography: GIS for the Oceans and Seas

by Joe Breman (Editor), Charies Convis (Foreword), Coordinator ESRI's Conservation Program (Introduction)

Featuring real-world examples from the ocean trenches, this collection of articles by leading ocean researchers and marine biologists shows some of the ways that GIS technology is contributing to our understanding of the underwater environment--from improving oil spill response to protecting at-risk coastal areas. Marine Geography illustrates how digital mapping and spatial analysis can serve as the integrating technology that allows various stakeholders to communicate in a common language.
