First sentence: From the pioneering studies of Marsili - who singlehandedly founded the field of oceanography with the publication in 1725 of the Histoire physique de la mer, a scientific best-seller of the time (Sartori 2003) - to the technologically most advanced cruises of the R/V JOIDES Resolution, the Mediterranean Sea has represented a crucible of scientific discoveries.
