There have been remarkable new approaches to the study of the oceans that blur the distinctions between the physical, chemical, biological, and geological disciplines. New theories and technologies have expanded our knowledge of ocean processes. For example, plate tectonics has revolutionized our view not only of the geology and geophysics of the seafloor but also of ocean chemistry and biology. Satellite remote sensing provides a global vision as well as detailed understanding of the close coupling of ocean physics and biology at local and regional scales.
Exploration, fishing, warfare, and the impact of tides and storms have driven the past study of the seas, but we now have a great public awareness of and concern with broader social and economic issues affecting the oceans. For this reason, editors have invited articles explicitly on marine policy and environmental topics, as well as encouraging authors to address these aspects of their particular subjects. The Encyclopedia should be of use to those involved with policy and management as well as to students and researchers

The Encyclopedia of Ocean Sciences aims to embody the great growth of knowledge in a major reference work. The first edition of the Encyclopedia of Ocean Sciences, published in 2001, has proven to be a valuable asset for the marine science community – and more generally. The continuing rapid increase in electronic access to academic material led the editors to decide that the second edition should be published electronically. Editors believe that new technology permits enhanced search and retrieval through the Internet; and this will make the Encyclopedia much more accessible to individual researchers and students
