Dr. Erik Seedhouse examines how individuals survive free dives to 200m, how humans adapt to breathing exotic gas mixes at depths exceeding 700m, and how technological innovation will enable humans to enter unendurable realms. The book describes the problems unique to the hostile environment of the deep ocean, such as decompression sickness, discusses how the human body responds to increased pressure, and what happens when adaptive mechanisms fail. Ocean Outpost describes how the technology will evolve, how crews will be selected and trained and what a typical underwater mission will entail. The book also chronicles the frontiers of diving medicine that will eventually take humans into the midst of a world we could once only guess at. | 出版日期 | Book 2011 | 关键词 | Artificial gills; Deep ocean mining; Exploiting ocean resources; Free diving methods; Undersea habitats | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4419-6357-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4419-6356-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4419-6357-4 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011 |
