Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During September and October 1972, scientists aboard the R/V Thomas G. Thompson studied the thermohaline and density structures in the tradewind region east of the Hawaiian Islands. An additional hydrographic section was made from the working area to San Diego, Ca. A total of 300 stations were taken. The primary objectives of the field study in the tradewind region east of Hawaii were: 1) to investigate the mesoscale thermohaline and density structures in 2700 km high resolution sections across the tradewind region. 2) to determine the subtropical and doldrum fronts occuring at the boundaries of this region. 3) to study the mesoscale dynamic height and baroclinic flow perturbations in the tradewind region. 4) to assess the mesoscale and baroclinic flow structures across the California current between the subtropical gyre and the coast. Keywords: Salinity temperature depth; Oceanographic data; Autumn sea water; Oceanographic fronts; Ocean currents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incidence of existing marine fauna by latitude and depth is recorded for the Eastern Pacific Ocean and offshore islands. Hypotheses concerning long and short term factors influencing the coast-wide distribution of the bivalve fauna are formulated and examined. Consideration is given to global effects of plate tectonics, continental displacement and environmental factors. Ordination and clustering techniques are used to examine the size and distribution of zoogeographic provinces. Provincial boundaries are presented and the characteristics of these provinces are described.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brilliantly concise history of the Pacific Ocean nevertheless succeeds in examining both the indigenous presence on ocean's islands and Western control or influence over the its islands and shores. There is a particular focus on the period from the 1530s to 1890 with its greater Western coastal and oceanic presence in the Pacific, beginning with the Spanish takeover of the coasts of modern Central America, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, and continuing with the Spaniards in the Philippines. There is also an emphasis on the very different physical and human environments of the four quadrants of the Pacific - the north-east, the north-west, the south-east and the south-west - and of the 'coastal' islands, that is the Aleutians, Japan and New Zealand, and continental coastlines. The focus is always on the interactions of Japan, California, Peru, Australia and other territories with the ocean, notably in terms of trade, migration and fishing. Black looks first at the geology, currents, winds and physical make-up of the Pacific, then the region's indigenous inhabitants to 1520. He describes the Pacific before the arrival of Europeans, its history of settlement, navigation methods and religious practices. From Easter Island, the focus shifts to European voyages, from Magellan to Cook and Tasman, the problems they faced, not least the sheer scale of the ocean. Black looks at the impact of these voyages on local people, including the Russians in the Aleutian Islands. Outside control of the region grew from 1788 to 1898. The British laid claim to Australia and America to the Phillipines. Western economic and political impact manifested in sandalwood and gold rushes, and the coming of steamships accelerated this impact. Territorial claims spread through Willis, Perry and the Americans, including to Hawaii. Black looks at the Maori wars in New Zealand and the War of the Pacific on the South American coast. Christian missionary activity increased, and Gaugin offered a different vision of the Pacific. 1899 to 1945 marked the struggle of empires: the rise of Japan as an oceanic power, and the Second World War in the Pacific as a critical moment in world history. Oil-powered ships ushered in the American Age, from 1945 to 2015, bringing the end of the British Pacific. France had a continued role, in Tahiti and New Caledonia, but America had become the dominant presence. Black explores the political, economic and cultural impacts of, for example, Polynesians attending universities in America and Australasia; the spread of rugby; and relatively little international tension, although some domestic pressures remained, including instability in Papua New Guinea and Fiji. The book ends with a look at the Pacific's future: pressures from industrial fishing, pollution and climate change; the rise of drug smuggling; greater Chinese influence leading to conflict with America and Australasia - the Pacific is once again on the frontline of military planning. But the Pacific's future also includes tourism, from Acapulco to Hawaii, and from Tahiti to Cairns.
