Reviews

From the reviews: "The systematic description of the knowledge accumulated on the physical oceanography, marine chemistry and pollution, and marine biology of the Caspian Sea forms the basis of this book. … This book is intended for specialists working in various fields of physical oceanography, marine chemistry, pollution studies, and biology, and for specialists studying a wide scope of environmental problems from regional climate to mesoscale processes, or from remote sensing of the seas to numerical and laboratory modelling." (International Journal of Environmental and Analytical Chemistry, Vol. 86, 2006)
