This handbook is the definitive reference for the interdisciplinary field that is ocean engineering. It integrates the coverage of fundamental and applied material and encompasses a diverse spectrum of systems, concepts and operations in the maritime environment, as well as providing a comprehensive update on contemporary, leading-edge ocean technologies. Coverage includes an overview on the fundamentals of ocean science, ocean signals and instrumentation, coastal structures, developments in ocean energy technologies and ocean vehicles and automation. It aims at practitioners in a range of offshore industries and naval establishments as well as academic researchers and graduate students in ocean, coastal, offshore and marine engineering and naval architecture.
The Springer Handbook of Ocean Engineering is organized in five parts: Part A: Fundamentals, Part B: Autonomous Ocean Vehicles, Subsystems and Control, Part C: Coastal Design, Part D: Offshore Technologies, Part E: Energy Conversion

Features
• Provides a comprehensive well-written account of research and development in ocean/marine engineering, naval architecture and related disciplines by leading experts in the field
• Discusses the latest in ocean engineering research, including harnessing the ocean as an energy resource, coastal protection techniques and offshore and subsea engineering automation
• Covers a wide spectrum of ocean engineering with material anchored in seven parts in over forty-five chapters
