About the Book

Sea disposed munitions and unexploded ordnance, collectively referred to as Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC) have become a topic of global concern. The legacy of a century of global conflict has led to the accumulation of MEC in coastal and deep ocean locations worldwide. Increasing use of the ocean and shallows seas (e.g., for commercial fishing, or the deployment of infrastructure for off-shore renewable energy), has resulted in more frequent interactions between humans and toxic MEC materials. Volume highlights include: - Developing methods to effectively and cost-efficiently detect MEC - Document the mobility and burial of MEC on a global scale - Estimate the fate and transport of chemical contaminants, and monitor the long-term effects of sea disposal - Historical insights with use of innovative technological advances  Global Impacts of Military Munitions Disposed at Sea will be a valuable resource for researchers in academia, government agencies, and private industry who are working to understand and potentially mitigate the effects of MEC throughout the global ocean. This volume will be a valuable reference guide for researchers in oceanography, ecology, coastal science, aquatic marine science, biogeochemistry, earth and environmental science.
