      abstract = {The oceans cover 70% of the terrestrial surface, and exert  a pervasive influence on the Earth's environment but their  nature is poorly recognized. Knowing the ocean's role  deeply and understanding the complex, physical, biological,  chemical and geological systems operating within it  represent a major challenge to scientists today. Seafloor  observatories offer scientists new opportunites to study  multiple, interrelated natural phenomena over time scales  ranging from seconds to decades, from episodic to global  and long-term processes. Seafloor Observatories addresses  the important and apparently simple question, "How can  continuous and reliable monitoring at the seafloor by means  of Seafloor Observatories extend exploration and improve  knowledge of our planet?" The book leads the reader through  the present scientific challenges to be addressed with  seafloor observatories; the technical solutions for their  architecture; an excursus on worldwide ongoing projects and  programmes. some relevant scientific multidisciplinary  results; and a presentation of new and interesting  long-term perspectives for the coming years. Scientific  results from seafloor observatories will yield significant  improvements and exert a strong impact not only on current  knowledge of our Planet but also on human life evolution.},
