Through this approach, the authors cover a range of applications, from local to global, with considerable geographical context. Each chapter concludes with an assignment and accompanying resource, thus helping readers apply the information. Table of Contents 1. Introduction to ocean currents - basic principles of cause and effect, measurement and modelling tools, etc. 2. Global gyres/Ekman drift - slow background flows and evolution/plastics/volcanic pumice/tsunami debris 3. Global western boundary currents and life - swift flows and marine life; dispersal of turtle hatchlings 4. Global eastern boundary currents and life - European Slope Current; Californian, Humboldt and Benguela Currents; links to upwelling and shifting ecosystems 5. Currents near the Equator and fast trans-basin flows - links to tropical climate variability (especially El Nino) 6. Connecting Oceans with upper ocean flows - Agulhas and Tasman leakage (connecting Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans) 7. Polar currents, icebergs and sea ice - the Antarctic Coastal Current and the Labrador Current (conveying icebergs); the East Greenland Current (and sea ice) 8. Connecting shallow (warm) and deep (cold) currents with climate - the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation; the global Conveyor Belt circulation 9. Seasonal flows in shallow shelf seas (around the world) and implications for pollution/biology 10. Indigenous (ancient) knowledge of ocean currents - e.g., colonisation of Australia, Polynesia 11. Utility of ocean currents for seafarers in recorded history - e.g., use of Gulf Stream for trans-Atlantic trade 12. Research Challenges and the Future - How might new technologies help us to develop a more complete understanding of ocean currents? How might currents change with climate, how might they change climate?
