News from the IMBER/LOICZ Continental Margins Task Team
New Web site: “Web-based resources for continental margins biogeochemical research and education”.
The Web site supports the activities of the Continental Margins Task Team, co-sponsored by IMBER and LOICZ. It provides bathymetry maps of more than 100 continental margins around the world, a bibliography for many of the margins and a glossary of scientific terms and abbreviations, among other items. It also provides links to relevant research projects and biogeochemical information of shelf and coastal systems.
