Selected Papers from the 2018 IEEE International Workshop on Metrology for the Sea

Abstract

This Special Issue is devoted to recent developments in instrumentation and measurement techniques applied to the marine field. The sea is the medium that has allowed people to travel from one continent to another using vessels, even today despite the use of aircraft. It has also been acting as a great reservoir and source of food for all living beings. However, for many generations, it served as a landfill for depositing conventional and nuclear wastes, especially in its deep seabeds, and we are assisting in a race to exploit minerals and resources, different from foods, encompassed in it. Its health is a great challenge for the survival of all humanity since it is one of the most important environmental components targeted by global warming.
