Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an in-depth analysis of the unprecedented oceanographic survey commissioned by the US Navy in 1899. The survey was tasked with finding a suitable route for the laying of a telegraph cable between the US, the Philippines, and Japan. While the objective was primarily functional, the work produced a wealth of foundational scientific data on one of the world's largest oceans. The meticulously gathered data set the stage for future oceanographic research and expanded the collective understanding of the Pacific Ocean's topography, composition, and lifeforms. A significant component of the book is the author's detailed examination of collected sediment samples. Several types of sediment are identified, including volcanic mud, red clay, globigerina ooze, diatom ooze, radiolarian ooze, blue mud, and green mud. Each type is carefully classified, and the author provides a detailed description of their composition, including their mineral content and the presence of microorganisms such as foraminifera and diatoms. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780332217093_0
