Errata for Chapter One of Exploring the World Ocean by Chamberlin and Dickey

Back to Main Page...

Text

No errata found to date. If you find other errors or statements that could use greater clarification, please e-mail Sean Chamberlin, schamberlin@fullcoll.edu. Thanks!

Clarification: page 6, it would be more appropriate and fitting with future chapters to define marine ecosystems here instead of marine communities.

Figures

Figure 1-2 caption, (c) omit "among others" at the end of this section.

Tables

Table 1.2, clarify "pests" in Invasive species; simply, release of non-native "exotic" organisms in ballast water of ships.
