    Written by experts actively engaged in the field, . Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review explores the physical, chemical, and biological aspects of marine science. An essential reference for researchers and students in all fields of marine science, the text contains analyses on cold sleep sediments, unburnt coal in the marine environment, biofiltration and biofouling on artificial structures in Europe, ecology of rafting in marine ecosystems, effects of globalisation in marine environments, and much more. Its consistent presentation and timely topics make it a perennial favorite among researchers and students in all fields of marine science.

    "This series makes up a standard reference library in the entire subdiscipline of Marine Biology."
    CRUSTACEANA

    "It is an invaluable information source for individual researchers who wish to keep abreast of topics going beyond their own (often narrow) fields of interest"
    P.S.Z.N.I: MARINE ECOLOGY

    "That most marine scientists can usually guarantee finding at least one review in every issue…is a measure of the success established by this indispensable series."
    JOURNAL OF NATURAL HISTORY

    "…The coverage and quality of the papers is such that all marine scientists, of whatever discipline, will need it readily available…A major strength of this series, which gives the reviews enduring value is the willingness to publish comprehensive reference lists…"
