Oceanography

The textbook Oceanography: An Invitation to Marine Science, 9th Edition, introduces foundational ocean literacy and examines the ocean's role in nurturing and sustaining life on Earth. Developed in partnership with the National Geographic Society, the volume addresses the scientific questions, complexities, and uncertainties involved in ocean use.

Coverage encompasses marine biological systems and environmental topics, featuring updated material on climate change as well as expanded discussion of both photosynthetic and chemosynthetic organisms.

To emphasize the scientific process, the volume incorporates "How Do We Know?" feature boxes that detail how oceanographers gather evidence and arrive at scientific conclusions.
