"O meticuloso e mundialmente pioneiro trabalho dos pesquisadores que deu origem a esta coletânea revela um fenômeno estrutural: estão aumentando o número e a gravidade dos conflitos ambientais em todo o mundo, principalmente no 'sul global' exportador de commodities. Isso ocorre em razão da explosão dos monocultivos com seus agrotóxicos, da extração de recursos naturais, do transporte de materiais e da produção de rejeitos. Assim, sofrem as populações pobres, indígenas, quilombolas e tantas outras, que perdem seu sustento e sua saúde, e, por isso, mobilizam-se e protestam. Até mesmo a esquerda política mostra-se cada vez menos empenhada em reconhecer a ecologia popular e o movimento global por justiça ambiental. Enquanto isso, o comércio injusto e insustentável continua a gerar inúmeros problemas ambientais, de saúde e violação dos direitos fundamentais. Os inventários e os mapas de conflitos ambientais, como os abordados nesta obra, ajudam, com vigor científico e moral, a dar visibilidade a essa realidade indignante. Mais que isso, mostram a forma como instituições e pesquisadores engajados podem, ao se aliar aos movimentos por justiça e contra o racismo ambiental, contribuir para a construção de um mundo mais solidário, justo e sustentável." Joan Martínez-Alier, professor da Universidade Autônoma de Barcelona e da Faculdade Latino-Americana de Ciências Sociais (Flacso) de Quito/Equador

This university-level reference work covers a range of remote sensing techniques that are useful for mapping and visualizing benthic environments on continental shelves. Chapters focus on overviews of the history and future of seafloor mapping techniques, cartographical visualisation and communication of seafloor mapping, and practical applications of new technologies. Seabed mapping is referenced by high-resolution seismic methods, sidescan sonar, multibeam bathymetry, satellite imagery, LiDAR, acoustic backscatter techniques, and soundscape ecology monitoring, use of autonomous underwater vehicles, among other methods. The wide breadth of subjects in this volume provides diversified coverage of seafloor imaging. This collection of modern seafloor mapping techniques summarizes the state of the art methods for mapping continental shelves.
