| Zusammenfassung: | In this Very Short Introduction Dorrik Stow analyses these most important components of our blue planet and considers their relationship with, and exploitation by, humans. He shows how the oceans are an essential resource to our overpopulated world, and discusses why exploration and greater scientific understanding of the oceans, their chemistry, and their mineral wealth are now a high priority. Stow also explores what we know of how oceans originate, and evolve and change; the shape of the seafloor and nature of its cover; the physical processes that stir the waters and mix such a rich chemical broth; and the inseparable link between oceans and climate. As polar ice melts and sea-levels rise, countless millions who have made their homes on low-lying lands close to the sea are threatened. As scientific exploration of the seas gathers pace, the new knowledge gained of the ocean-Earth systems and their interaction with the human environment is vital to our understanding of how we can preserve these ultimately fragile environments. |

Our oceans are hugely important, as
a source of food and mineral wealth,
as an environment fopa vast variety
of wildlife, for the roteghey play in
climate regulation,
biogeochemical cycles of carbon,
nitrogen, and other elements critical
to life.
In this Very Short introduction, Dorrik
Stow explores the nature of oceans
and their importance to us. As scientific
iAi«
exploration of the seas gathers, pace, the
new knowledge gained of the ocean-
Earth systems and their֊ interaction with
the human environment is vital to our
understanding of how we can preserve
these ultimately fragile environments.
