Containing exercises within the major discipines of oceanography -- biology, chemistry, geology, and physics, Laboratory Exercises in Oceanography incorporates real data from actual experiments to help you gain a deeper understanding of relevant concepts. This is the current edition of the lab manual used by tens of thousands of students over the past two decades. As always, the manual 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.
Features
• All experiments can be done with minimal equipment and can be used as supplemental work for lecture courses without formal lab sessions
• Includes basic materials for performing the exercises, including reference tables, maps, graph forms, and glossaries of special terms
New to This Edition
• Remaining exercises have been revised and updated.
• Each exercise begins with "Objectives" for students, outlining the goals of the exercise.
