Complex Investigation of the World Ocean

The book presents the most relevant research of the  participants of the VII International Conference of Young Scientists  "Complex Investigation of the World Ocean" (CIWO-2023). This conference  was held at Saint Petersburg State University in May 15-19, 2023 (Saint  Petersburg, Russia). It covers a wide range of fundamental and applied  marine and limnology studies combined in eight sections: Ocean Physics,  Ocean Biology, Ocean Chemistry, Marine Geology, Marine Geophysics,  Marine Ecology and Environmental Management, Physical and Biological  interactions (interdisciplinary section), Oceanological Technology and  Instrumentation. The aim of this book is to show the relevance of the  marine research due to the crucial role of the World Ocean in  determining climate change on Earth, huge resources (fish resources,  oil, gas and ore deposits, etc.) and intensive development of  infrastructure in coastal and offshore zones. All these topics were  marked within the framework of realization of the United Nations Decade  of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030). 

The  studies presented in the book covers the wide spectrum of different the  most important marine and limnology issues: thermohaline structure of  water body and interactions between ocean and atmosphere, dynamic of the  ocean, marine ice in polar regions, biodiversity of the marine  ecosystems, adaptation of marine life to climate changes, geological and  geophysical investigations in oil and gas regions, sedimentation,  paleooceanology and biostratigraphy, hydrochemistry of estuary regions  and carbon fluxes, microplastic pollution of the ocean, eutrophication  and etc.
