Description
A considerable achievement, this book is a vital addition to the field and an important tool in assisting interdisciplinary investigations in ocean biology. -- Susanne Menden-Deuer, Princeton University This book allows scientists who work in any corner of the planktonic encounter arena to expand their views and teaching capabilities to cover the entire area. It will be the text of choice for graduate seminars in all the major and minor oceanographic and limnological institutions. -- Peter A. Jumars, University of Maine
About the Author
Thomas Kiorboe is professor of ocean ecology at the National Institute of Aquatic Resources, Technical University of Denmark.
Reviews
"I found the ordering and summary of materials, especially those applying encounter theories directly, to be helpful in ordering my own thinking. The ideas will be broadly familiar to experts in the field, but Kiorboe's clean, direct presentations pull them together in a rewarding way; your study time will be well spent. For aspiring experts, this mechanistic approach is important to master, and working through this book will give you a great running start."--Charles B. Miller, Journal of Plankton Research "What could be deadly dull material is enlivened by evocative examples from Kiorboe's extensive observations of plankton... One cannot read this book without gaining a much fuller appreciation of how fluid motion influences life in the sea."--New Biological Books
