Jacques offers a unique analysis of the connections between global marine and atmospheric science to global political phenomena. He shows how human survival is intricately linked to the sustainability of the world ocean, a singular connected body of regional oceans that is by definition a global resource that touches all other ecosystems. Jacques warns that the world ocean now offers evidence of several existential crises for global human populations, including declining global fisheries, coral reef losses, and climate change, but there has been a lack of global or regional cooperation in sustaining this complex ecosystem. He suggests how we can synthesize and coordinate global ecological information, exploring three regional areas in their local and global context: the South Pacific, Caribbean basin, and Southeast Asia. His book will be a valuable resource for researchers and students in environmental studies, marine sciences, and globalization studies.

The first edition of the Encyclopedia of Optical and Photonic Engineering provided a valuable reference concerning devices or systems that generate, transmit, measure, or detect light, and to a lesser degree, the basic interaction of light and matter. This Second Edition not only reflects the changes in optical and photonic engineering that have occurred since the first edition was published, but also: Boasts a wealth of new material, expanding the encyclopedia’s length by 25 percent Contains extensive updates, with significant revisions made throughout the text Features contributions from engineers and scientists leading the fields of optics and photonics today With the addition of a seco...
The 138 papers contained in this volume present the newest and most sophisticated techniques, which have been developed in different but related fields of research from radar to medical and industrial imaging. Enormously extended areas of research are covered, they are however, related to each other from the view point of noise and clutter rejection. The interdisciplinary nature of the proceedings will make them of considerable interest to a broad readership. A selection of contents: Polarimetric SAR: Principles and Applications (F.T. Ulaby). Flow field characterization by NMR (O. Nalcioglu). Weibull clutter and its suppression (M. Sekine). Sessions: A. Noise and Clutter Properties. I. Application of the K-distribution to Radar Clutter (K.D. Ward). Sea CAS: Sea clutter acquisition system (J. Dunn-Rogers). Space and frequency correlation of multipath fading due to sea surface scattering and its reduction by diversity technique for low G/T mobile satellite communications (M. Yasunaga et al.). II. A study of land clutter spectrum (N. Li). Polarimetric measurement of the propagation characteristics of forest clutter (M.W. Whitt et al.). Remote Sensing. I.
