Resumen

Perhaps the most lucrative field for exploration and exploitation remaining in the world today consists of the vast ocean expanses which cover nearly three-fourths of the surface of the globe. The importance of marine science cannot be overstated. It involves observation, description and understanding of physical, chemical and biological phenomena of the marine environment. The value of the potential resources of the sea is incalculable. And the study of the phenomena of the sea, coupled with meteorology and solid-earth geophysics could very well result in longrange environmental prediction and modification. Thus marine geodesy was born of necessity.
