Review "This book provides a comprehensive review of UV radiation effects specifically in the marine environment. A multidisciplinary approach is adopted to discuss all aspects from a physical, chemical and biological perspective." "The book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in photobiology, photochemistry and environmental science. It will also be useful as a supplementary text for courses in oceanography, climatology and ecology."--BOOK JACKET.
