Note publique d'information : This textbook deals with the most important items in marine geology, including some
pioneer work. The list of topics has grown greatly in the last few decades beyond
the items identified by Eugen Seibold as central and now includes prominently such
things as methane and climate change; that is, the carbon cycle and the Earth system
as a whole. Relevant geophysical, geochemical, sedimentological and paleontological
methods are shortly described. They should allow the reader to comment on new results
about plate tectonics, marine sedimentation from the coasts to the deep sea, climatological
aspects, paleoceanology and the use of the sea floor. The text tries to transmit to
the reader excitement of marine geological research both aboard and in modern laboratories.
Basic mineralogical, geochemical, biological and other relevant data and a detailed
list of books and symposia are given in an Appendix. This Introduction builds on the
third edition of “The Sea Floor” by E. Seibold and W.H. Berger. While much of the
original text was written by Seibold, a considerable portion of the material presented
in this edition is new, taking into account the recent great shift in marine geological
research, some of it with great relevance to human concerns arising in a rapidly changing
world.
