Book Description
Autonomous vessels and robotics, artificial Intelligence and cybersecurity are transforming international shipping and naval operations. Likewise, blockchain offers new efficiencies for compliance with international shipping records, while renewable energy from currents and waves and offshore nuclear power stations open opportunities for new sources of power within and from the sea. These and other emerging technologies pose a challenge for the governance framework of the law of the sea, which is adapting to accommodate the accelerating rates of global change. This volume examines how the latest technological advances and marine sciences are reshaping the interpretation and application of the law of the sea. The authors explore the legality of new concepts for military operations on the continental shelf, suggest remote sensing methodologies for delimitation of maritime boundaries, and offer a legal roadmap for ensuring maritime cyber security.

Fighting the Great War at Sea
Author: Norman Friedman
Publisher: Naval Institute Press
ISBN: 1612519598
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
While the overriding image of the First World War is of the bloody stalemate on the Western Front, the overall shape of the war arose out of its maritime character. It was essentially a struggle about access to worldwide resources, most clearly seen in Germany’s desperate attempts to counter the American industrial threat, which ultimately drew the United States into the war. This radical new book concentrates on the way in which each side tried to use or deny the sea to the other, and in so doing describes rapid wartime changes not only in ship and weapons technology but also in the way naval warfare was envisaged and fought. Melding strategic, technical, and tactical aspects, Friedman approaches the First World War from a fresh perspective and demonstrates how its perceived lessons dominated the way navies prepared for the Second World War.

Structure in the Sea
Author: William Seaman
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0128225823
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
Structure in the Sea: The Science, Technology and Effects of Purpose-Built Reefs and Related Surfaces provides a review of the history, development, status and emerging trends in research, technology and applications of artificial reef habitats and sea floor structures. The book helps readers understand, utilize and add to the research of modern reef deployment efforts, presenting a guide to equip stakeholders requiring technical foundations and best practices. Topics include materials, designs and construction methods, along with the ecology of these structures, including key aspects of the life history of plants and animals associated with artificial reefs. Rigorous research addressing ecological, economic and engineering questions, coupled with the innovative deployment of structures worldwide by diverse stakeholders, have created a synergy that makes the book a valuable synthesis and analysis for this growing subject. Thus, its broad audience includes marine (coastal and ocean) environmental sciences, including aquatic ecologists, those working in ocean sustainability and conservation, benthic habitat and coral reef restoration practitioners, and more. - Presents a new perspective on how we might save natural wonders under threat - Provides a representation of reefs, showing the economic and humanitarian value of these natural ecosystems - Unlocks potentials for solutions for conservation by including global case studies

From Sea to Shining Sea
Author: Frank M. Panek
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1499082894
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 341
Book Description
From Sea to Shining Sea is a story of exploration and discovery in the depths of the seas of Earth and on the Jovian moon of Europa. In the height of the Cold War, a submarine operating out of Portsmouth Shipyard was diverted to investigate a potential Soviet threat in the North Atlantic. That submarine suffers a tragic accident and is lost with all hands. One hundred years later, the crew of an experimental research submersible, the R/S Balanus, was sent by the United Nations and the US Navy to investigate something unusual in some of the deepest waters of the North Atlantic. What Jack Wolfe and Wil Nelson thought was a demonstration dive of Sea Technologies and Explorations newest design was actually something quite different. The final test dive of the R/S Balanus would take the crew to explore the darkness and a dangerous unknown. Dr. Arnie Hanson of the UN Interplanetary Space Corps suspected that what drew the R/S Balanus to investigate the abyss was in some way related to what the crew of the spaceship Endeavor had discovered on Europa miles under the ice in the Sea of Conamara Chaos. If he was correct, what these two groups of explorers found could change the world forever.

Ocean Pulse
Author: John T. Tanacredi
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1489901361
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
There are many conferences, workshops and meetings annually around the world, each emphasizing a specialty area for scientific exploration and research. Yet in very few instances, if at all, do the multidisciplinary aspects of science get presented so one may see the diversity of dependencies these seemingly disparate disciplines actually have. The Explorers Club and the U. S. National Park Service collaborated to make a first attempt at what will continue to be an "ocean pulse'" effort; conferences combining the aquaculture sciences; the search for underwater antiquities and the marinelbio-technologies utilized to explore these areas. The purpose has been to bring together not just academicians to talk about their finding in the field or the laboratory, but to provide a forum for the practical applications of "technology" to expanding our worlds fisheries as well as to continue to explore our world's oceans; the earth's truly last frontier. After everything is said and done, we still know precious little about our ocean environments. Their influences on our lives are monumental and yet we continue to be very parochial and conservative in our dedication to exploring their depths and resources. We feel confident that this initial effort by our respective groups to awaken a realization in the public and private sectors of the need for a cross-disciplinary approach to scientific research in the marine environment, is a necessity as we approach the 21 st century.

Undersea Vehicles and National Needs
Author: Committee on Undersea Vehicles and National Needs
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309588723
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
The United States faces decisions requiring information about the oceans in vastly expanded scales of time and space and from oceanic sectors not accessible with the suite of tools now used by scientists and engineers. Advances in guidance and control, communications, sensors, and other technologies for undersea vehicles can provide an opportunity to understand the oceans' influence on the energy and chemical balance that sustains humankind and to manage and deliver resources from and beneath the sea. This book assesses the state of undersea vehicle technology and opportunities for vehicle applications in science and industry. It provides guidance about vehicle subsystem development priorities and describes how national research can be focused most effectively.
