Описание:
The Southern Ocean surrounding the Antarctic continent is vast, in particular, its history, its isolation, and climate, making it a unique "laboratory case" for experimental evolution, adaptation and ecology. Its evolutionary history of adaptation provide a wealth of information on the functioning of the biosphere and its potential.
The Southern Ocean is the result of a history of nearly 40 million years marked by the opening of the Straits south of Australia and South America and intense cooling. The violence of its weather, its very low temperatures, the formation of huge ice-covered areas, as its isolation makes the Southern Ocean a world apart.
This book discusses the consequences for the evolution, ecology and biodiversity of the region, including endemism, slowed metabolism, longevity, gigantism, and its larval stages; features which make this vast ocean a "natural laboratory" for exploring the ecological adaptive processes, scalable to work in extreme environmental conditions. Today, biodiversity of the Southern Ocean is facing global change, particularly in regional warming and acidification of water bodies. Unable to migrate further south, how will she cope, if any, to visitors from the North?
Designed for curious readers to discover the immense ocean surrounding the most isolated and most inhospitable continent on the planet.
Describes the Southern Ocean facing biodiversification due to global change
Authored by scientists with experience of expeditions to the Southern Ocean

Описание:
Ocean Energy Modeling and Simulation with Big Data: Computational Intelligence for System Optimization and Grid Integration offers the fundamental and practical aspects of big data solutions applied to ocean and offshore energy systems. The book explores techniques for assessment of tidal, wave and offshore wind energy systems. It presents the use of data mining software to simulate systems and Hadoop technology to evaluate control systems. The use of Map Reduce algorithms in systems optimization is examined, along with the application of NoSQL in systems management. Actual data collection through web-based applications and social networks is discussed, along with practical applications of recommendations.

Описание: Fundamentals of Ocean Renewable Energy: Generating Electricity from the Sea presents the basic concepts of mechanics and introduces the various technical aspects of ocean renewable energy. Contents follow a logical sequence, starting with hydrodynamics and then separately examining each conversion technology, with special focus on tidal energy, offshore wind and wave energy, as well as current and ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC). The authors explore key topics for resource characterization and optimization, such as monitoring and measurement methods and ocean modeling. They also discuss the sustainability, planning, integration and distribution challenges for the implementation of these technologies, including co-location with other systems. . Finally, case studies of ocean energy sites and devices allow for a better understanding of how ocean energy conversion works in real-world settings. This book is an invaluable resource for students at graduate and senior undergraduate level engineering (ocean, mechanical, and civil) and oceanography with prior knowledge of fluid mechanics and mechanics of materials.
