- W584637467 abstract "This is the last book by George Deacon, who died in November 1984. He had been Director of the Institute of Oceanographic Sciences, United Kingdom, and was one of the world's leaders of oceanography. In this book he presents a remarkable amount of interesting information in a minimum of space. It is a 'typical Deacon': precise, informative, well organised and meticulously documented. Deacon introduces his topic with an historical review of early explorations sealers, whalers, 19thcentury explorers and then records masterfully our present knowledge of the hydrography, water movement, climatology, topography and geology of the Antarctic Circumpolar Ocean. He includes sections on sea ice, icebergs, productivity, krill and conservation. Addressed to a wide readership, and largely intended for students, the book summarises our present knowledge of water movements and their effects on temperature and salinity distributions, biological productivity, and the distribution of organisms. The Southern Ocean is known for strong winds, high seas and dangerous ice formations. Antarctic seals and whales have supported large industries in the past, and modern exploiters are now directing much of their attention to the economic potential of the still very abundant krill. The Antarctic Circumpolar Ocean was an important trade route before the opening of the Suez and Panama canals. It greatly influences the climate of the neighbouring continents. I highly recommend this book to all oceanographers, marine biologists and interested members of the general public." @default.
