Description for Dynamic Modeling for Marine Conservation
Hardback. Provides methods for learning how ocean systems function, how natural and human actions put them in peril, and how we can influence the marine world in order to maintain biodiversity. This book demonstrates dynamic modeling through the use of the STELLA modeling program and case studies from marine conservation. Editor(s): Ruth, Mattias; Lindholm, James. Series: Modeling Dynamic Systems. Num Pages: 449 pages, 15 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PSPM; RNC; RNK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 26. Weight in Grams: 924.
The oceans are shrinking. They're not literally shrinking; warming in the last century has actually expanded the sea enough to threaten low-lying coastal lands that are vul nerable to storm surge. During the same interval, however, events on land have increasingly affected the sea. Since in most ways the Earth is a closed system-a zero-sum planet in today's parlance-as terrestrial influence on the sea expands, the sea's influence on its own processes shrinks. Control of many crucial marine processes no longer resides within the sea. The evidence for this is abundant and, to anyone who is looking, unmis takable. In ... Read more
