Editorial: Physics and Biogeochemistry of the East Asian Marginal Seas

The oceans are experiencing unprecedented rates of change associated with climate change and human activities. Amongst the many marginal seas of the global ocean, the East Asian marginal seas, including the East/Japan Sea (EJS), Yellow Sea (YS), East China Sea (ECS), and South China Sea (SCS), are likely to be the most heavily influenced by anthropogenic activities. Since these marginal seas are at the forefront of our human interaction with the marine environment, there is a pressing need to explore the responses of physics and biogeochemistry in these seas to climate change and human impacts.
