Man-made objects on the seafloor 2000 : papers presented at an international conference organised by the Society for Underwater Technology and Geotek Limited, held in London, 2-3 May 2000

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 195 pages : illustrations, maps ; 21 cm. The seafloor is no longer a pristine environment. From the shallow continental shelves to the deep ocean floor, it is visited regularly by sampling devices, autonomous instruments and human beings. Cables are laid, structures placed, waste dumped; shipwrecks and lost equipment all inevitably finish up on the ocean floor. This unique collection of papers, presented earlier this year at the SUTs international conference ManMade Objects on the Seafloor, covers a diverse selection of topics from around the world, ranging from the midAtlantic to the Sunda Straits. The application of technologies, equipment, methods and reasoning to areas as varied as artificial reefs, seafloor autonomous research stations, submarine telecommunication cables, subsea pipelines, radiological surveys, deepwater trawling, wreck exploration, decommissioning and mine warfare makes this 195page volume a must for marine scientists, engineers and all those wishing a better understanding of Mans activities in the marine environment. Includes 80 figures and tables. Artikel-Nr. PGSUT15
