Seller's Description:
Very good. xxi, [1], 383, [1] pages. Illustrations (photographs, Tables, and Figures). Maps. References. Index. This is one of the Elsevier Oceanography Series Number 17. Included is a signed letter from Harold Palmer, Ph.D. to a senior Environmental Protection Agency official dated 5 January 1975 requesting information for a chapter he was preparing for this book. This is Chapter 11: Submersibles: Geological Tools in the Study of Submarine Canyons. Name of previous owner stamped on fep. The Editor spent four years as an exploration geophysicist and geologist with Standard Oil; he spent four years with the Bureau of Ordnance, U.S. Navy; he spent a year as senior field instructor at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution; he spent three years as senior research geophysicist with Humble Oil & Refining Co. Then he received his doctorate and continued full time as head of Humble's Oceanography Section. He then became chief geophysicist of the Gravity Department at Geophysical Service, Inc. and then technical director of oceanography for Texas Instruments. In 1966, Geyer became head of the Department of Oceanography at Texas A & M University. In 1974 his contributions there were recognized by his being made a full professor. The major focus of this book is the period in which a highly specialized technological effort to study and harvest the varied resources in and beneath the ocean has been successfully consummated using an unmanned submersible. The book also includes a discussion of manned submersibles. The chapter have been written by noted authorities. Some case studies on the use of manned submersibles are presented. Case studies have been taken from such diversified scientific disciplines as geological, geophysical and biological oceanography as well as nautical archaeology. Other major topics include the search for and salvage of an atomic bomb (discussed as part of Chapter 4), and other objects lost in the sea, as well as describing methods for improving undersea navigation and communication.
