Detri’s Round Trip will entertain children as well as illustrate principles that are important for children to distinguish as they move through life. Detri’s adventure reveals several important life lessons for children such as persistence, self-esteem and self-control. One such lesson is how to face ones fears... showing how one can let them go and render them powerless. Detri’s book will show children why their imaginary worlds are important and will teach them how to overcome their obstacles. “The characters are endearing and show a descriptive and creative way to teach the valuable lesson of love. A wonderful book written with true compassion and heart.” — Laura A. Berggren: Entrepreneur, Artist, and emphatic mother of 10 beautiful souls “The journey of Detri kept pulling me onward in the reading to discover more of his journey of self-discovery with new friends... It is a unique way to share these life’s lessons. It was a lovely journey for me too.” — Leslie Moe, Retired Teacher and Grandmother

The use of optical methodology, instrumentation and photonics devices for imaging, vision and optical sensing is of increasing importance in understanding our marine environment. Subsea optics can make an important contribution to the protection and sustainable management of ocean resources and contribute to monitoring the response of marine systems to climate change. This important book provides an authoritative review of key principles, technologies and their applications.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides a general introduction to the key concepts in subsea optics and imaging, imaging technologies and the development of ocean optics and colour analysis. Part two reviews the use of subsea optics in environmental analysis. An introduction to the concepts of underwater light fields is followed by an overview of coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM) and an assessment of nutrients in the water column. This section concludes with discussions of the properties of subsea bioluminescence, harmful algal blooms and their impact and finally an outline of optical techniques for studying suspended sediments, turbulence and mixing in the marine environment. Part three reviews subsea optical systems technologies. A general overview of imaging and visualisation using conventional photography and video leads onto advanced techniques like digital holography, laser line-scanning and range-gated imaging as well as their use in controlled observation platforms or global observation networks. This section also outlines techniques like Raman spectroscopy, hyperspectral sensing and imaging, laser Doppler anemometry (LDA) and particle image velocimetry (PIV), optical fibre sensing and LIDAR systems. Finally, a chapter on fluorescence methodologies brings the volume to a close.With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Subsea optics and imaging is a standard reference for those researching, developing and using subsea optical technologies as well as environmental scientists and agencies concerned with monitoring the marine environment. - Provides an authoritative review of key principles, technologies and their applications - Outlines the key concepts in subsea optics and imaging, imaging technologies and the development of ocean optics and colour analysis - Reviews the properties of subsea bioluminescence, harmful algal blooms and their impact
