The books brought together in the “Seas and Oceans” Set make up a multi-disciplinary and systemic approach to the complexity, vulnerability, productivity and exploitation of the marine environment that is today faced with global change. This set of books does not simply describe and analyze the mechanisms that act on how these environments work, but it also presents a cross-disciplinary approach, leading to governance, sustainable management of resources and adaptation of our societies to change.
The authors of this book present the ocean system through its interactions with the geosphere, atmosphere and biosphere, at all spatio-temporal scales. Matter and energy exchanges as well as biogeochemical cycles are analyzed, along with the consequences of climate change on the acidification of the oceans and the biogeochemical cycles.

3. Ocean–Atmosphere Interactions, Laurence Eymard and Gilles Reverdin.
4. Marine Biogeochemical Cycles, Louis Legendre.
5. Ocean Acidification and its Consequences, Jean-Pierre Gattuso, Lina Hansson and Frédéric Gazeau.
