Description
What can sharks teach us about our immune system? How do ocean currents affect the strength of hurricanes? The more we learn about the ocean, the more we realize how critical these vast bodies of water are to our health and well-being. From Monsoons to Microbes explores the oceans that surround us. It examines the links among physical oceanography, public health, epidemiology, marine biology, and medicine in understanding how the oceans affect our health. This book recommends ways we can implement exciting new technologies to monitor the physics, chemistry, and biology of the ocean to recognize change as it happens. From the impact of worldwide atmospheric warming to the significance of exotic bacteria from submarine hydrothermal vents, the ocean has many depths left for us to explore.
