Descriere
The new edition of Laboratory Exercises in Oceanography brings up to date the lab manual used by tens of thousands of students over the past two decades. As always, the manual includes exercises for the major disciplines within oceanography (biology, chemistry, geology, and physics) and incorporates real data from actual experiments. The new edition adds four new labs, thorough updating throughout, new objectives sections, and an 8-page color insert.
There is an Instructors Resource Manual to accompany the text which includes explanations and solutions for all exercises in the manual.
