Oceans and Seas: Physical Geography
Abstrak
Seas and oceans constitute two thirds of the surface of the Earth. However, in spite of this geophysical dominance, they have only recently begun to attract the attention of geographers. In physical geography, seas and oceans have been explored from the coast to the deep sea using a range of techniques from traditional sampling to remote sensing to understanding geomorphic processes, sediment mobilization, earth science, and sea level rise. In human geography, seas and oceans have been recognized as places where human and physical interests meet. For example, human geographers are exploring the more‐than‐human dimensions of seas and oceans alongside investigating geopolitical questions that arise in international waters, the historical geographies of colonialism and imperialism that can be thought anew, and the embodied sensations of engaging with the “hydro” world.
