Sommario/riassunto |
|
The book 'The Study of Hydrology and Oceanography' edited by Dr. Pralhad Jaybhaye provides an in-depth exploration of the complex interactions within Earth's water systems. It covers the disciplines of hydrology and oceanography, emphasizing their significance in environmental management, climate prediction, and sustainable development. The volume is designed to equip scholars, researchers, and policymakers with advanced theoretical and practical knowledge on global water systems, oceanic economic development, and environmental safety. Topics include the hydrologic cycle, biological oceanography, and the use of technologies such as GPS and AI in monitoring and forecasting. The book serves as a resource for understanding the global maritime economy and its impact on international trade and relationships. |
