      abstract = {This Encyclopedia comprises the current knowledge in  marine geosciences whereby not only basic but also applied  and technical sciences are covered. Through this concept a  broad scale of users in the field of marine sciences and  techniques is addressed, from students and scholars in  academia to engineers and decision makers in industry and  politics. Globally growing demand of energy and mineral  resources, reliable future projection of climate processes  and the protection of coasts to mitigate the threats of  disasters and hazards require a comprehensive understanding  of the structure, ongoing processes and genesis of the  marine geosphere. Beyond the "classical" research fields in  marine geology in current time more general concepts have  been evolved integrating marine geophysics, hydrography,  marine biology, climatology and ecology. As an umbrella the  term "marine geosciences" has been broadly accepted for  this new complex field of research and the solutions of  practical tasks in the marine realm. .},
