Jan Harff is Professor of Geosciences and Seafloor Geology at the University of Szczecin, Poland. His previous research focused on sedimentary basin analysis at the Central Institute for Physics of the Earth (ZIPE, subsequently the GeoForschungsZentrum, GFZ), Potsdam, and marine geology at the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde and the University of Greifswald, Germany. He cooperates, on a permanent basis, with marine research institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese universities and the Guangzhou Marine Geological Survey, Guangzhou, China. His research interests concern marine geology in general, sedimentology, coastal geology, palaeo-oceanography, palaeoclimatology, mathematical geology and basin modelling. In addition to having authored and co-authored numerous research papers and having served as editor of other scientific publications, he acted as corresponding editor of “Modeling of Sedimentary Systems” (Springer,1999) and “The Baltic Sea Basin” (Springer, 2011).Martin Meschede is Professor of “Regional and Structural Geology” at the Institute of Geography and Geology, University of Greifswald, Germany. His research interests focus on geodynamic processes at plate margins, subduction, large igneous provinces, exhumation, paleogeography, paleoclimatology, basin evolution, and glacial tectonics. He participated in several marine research expeditions, among these are the Joides Resolution of IODP and a diving cruise with Shinkai 6500. Besides a number of scientific publications, he is author and coauthor of several textbooks on plate tectonics, structural geology, and regional geology of Germany.Sven Petersen is a senior researcher at GEOMAR, Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel in Germany. His research focuses on understanding the processes that form and change seafloor hydrothermal systems and associated mineral deposits with time. He participated in more than 30 researchcruises to submarine hydrothermal systems in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Ocean. Major aims of his research are to understand their chemical variability, the use of mobile drilling techniques and geophysical methods to investigate their sub-seafloor extent as well as the use of autonomous underwater vehicles for their exploration.Jörn Thiede is the leader of the KÖPPEN-Laboratory of the Institute of Earth Sciences of Saint Petersburg State University. He worked 1967-1987 at the universities of Aarhus (Denmark), Bergen (Norway), Oregon State University in Corvallis (USA), Oslo (Norway) and Kiel (Germany) and learned to sail the world’s oceans to understand their history. Afterwards he pursued the foundation of GEOMAR. In 1997 he joined The Alfred Wegener Institute-Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research. In 2008 he served at the Geocenter Denmark as well as at UNIS (Longyearbyen/Svalbard) and in 2011 was invited to join the St. Petersburg State University (Russia).
“This title in the Encyclopedia of Earth Sciences Series covers approximately 195 topics under the umbrella term marine geosciences, which incorporates marine geophysics, hydrography, climatology, marine biology, and ecology. … The writing and subject matter are advanced. For those libraries (academic and public) looking for a reliable and authoritative reference on marine geosciences, this is a highly recommended resource.” (American Reference Books Annual ARBA, June, 2018)Encyclopedia of Marine Geosciences wins GSIS Mary B. Ansari Best 2017 Research Resource Work Award The Encyclopedia of Marine Geosciences has been selected to receive the 2017 GSIS Mary B. Ansari Best Research Resource Work Award. J. Harff, M. Meschede, S. Petersen and J. Thiede are the editors of this reference work published by Springer in 2016.The Geoscience Information Society has presented the GSIS Mary B. Ansari Best Reference Work Award annually since 1988. The award honors an outstanding reference work published in the field of geoscience information during the previous three years“This Encyclopedia from Springer Reference is an excellent source. The information is clear, concise and easy to use for multiple levels of users. Those users at advanced levels can find additional information through the bibliography and cross-references. … Overall this is a good multilevel resource that can be used by all levels of university and a basic resource for the serious researcher in the area of marine geosciences.” (Victoria Packard, Reference Reviews, Vol. 37 (5), 2017)
