Exploration of the oceans using the tcchnigues of the geophysicist has had a profound influence on our understanding of the Earth and its behaviour through time. Observations in the deep occan-have played a key role in establishing modern plate tectonic theory, transforming Earth Science in ways that were guite unexpected when the first geophysicists put to sea. Measurements in shallower waters…
It is my privilege to write this short introduction to the Proceedings of this 'Marine Safety' Conference to commemorate the Centenary of the Department of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering in the University of Glasgow. The University was founded in 1451 and has been associated with many famous names. The first University Chair of Engineering in Britain was established in Glasgow by Quee…
Dengan menggunakan data-data sejarah kejayaan maritim Nusantara, kondisi dan potensi laut yang dimiliki serta didukung oleh kajian literatur yang iersedia penulis mencoba menjabarkan landasan berpikir bahwa laut dapat menjadi instrumen mewujudkan kedaulatan pangan bagi bangsa Indonesia. ketahanan pangan bahkan Semboyan Jalesveva Jayamahe yang bermakna “Justru di Laut Kita Jaya" menjadi semang…

"Less than five hours after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, U.S. naval lead- L ers reluctantly chose to pursue a form of warfare they despised-targeting not only Japanese military assets but also civilian-operated fishing trawlers, freighters, and tankers. The move to unrestricted submarine warfare represented a major change in the longstanding American adherence to the classic doctrine of …
Various allogeneic responses have been characterized in stony corals. The responses were thought to be genetically control. However, very little is known about the genetic mechanism of allorecognition in corals. Therefore, the contact reaction between parent-offspring and between siblings of the coral Pocillopora damicornis has been studied. Three types of contact reactions were observed: betwe…
There has been a remarkable increase in the scientific and engineering literature dealing with the coastal zone during the 20 years since publication of the first edition of this text. To suggest that the present edition is a “revision” is therefore something of an understatement. In 1976 when the first edition was published, little was known concerning the patterns of wave transformations …
There is a vast literature on the topic of sediment transport, and, generaily, the contributions to it fall into three categories: descriptive marine geological, process-oriented oceanographic, and empirical engineering. I admit this is a rather sweeping generalization but so often the engineering literature starts with dimensional reasoning and then obtains results from experiments to produce …
