• Includes basic materials for performing the exercises, including reference tables, maps, graph forms, and glossaries of special terms

New to This Edition

• Four new exercises: Hurricanes (Ex. 13), Oceanography from Space and Remote Sensing (Ex.14), El Nino (Ex. 17), and Littoral Ecosystems and Environmental Impact (Ex. 22).
• Remaining exercises have been revised and updated.
• Each exercise begins with "Objectives" for students, outlining the goals of the exercise.
