Technology in Marine Geosciences

This chapter describes the most commonly used technologies and instruments for observing and sampling in the field of marine geosciences and refers to a number of special papers within this encyclopedia and beyond. This chapter is meant as an introduction showing the variability and broad scale of intruments being used. Since technology is a vast and rapidly changing field, numerous specific instruments used throughout marine geoscience are undouptfully missing in this compilation.
