This book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the subject, highlighting the significant advancements, challenges, and research developments in this rapidly evolving field. Throughout this book, a balanced blend of fundamental principles, state-of-the-art research, and practical applications are presented. It explores the challenges of designing and analyzing offshore foundations, pipelines, subsea tunnels, and other marine structures. The book also addresses the geotechnical aspects of dynamic loading, soil liquefaction, soil-structure interaction, and the assessment and mitigation of geohazards such as submarine landslides. This book will serve as a valuable reference, inspiring the next generation of marine geotechnical engineers and fostering further advancements in the field. As the demand for offshore resources and infrastructure continues to grow, the importance of understanding the geotechnical aspects of the marine environment becomes increasingly crucial. This book will contribute to the knowledge base and facilitate the development of innovative solutions to the challenges posed by the dynamic and demanding nature of the subsea environment.

Celestial navigation is an ancient method of navigating using celestial bodies like stars, the sun, moon, and planets. Sailors use instruments like a sextant to measure angles between celestial objects and the horizon, allowing them to calculate their position on Earth. However, with the rise of GPS and electronic navigation systems, celestial navigation has become less popular.The main goal of the book is to reduce the dependence on GPS as the sole navigation method and minimize the risk of a single point failure. By leveraging available technology, celestial navigation can continue to play a significant role in ensuring safe passage for ships worldwide. The book explores the application of these modern technologies to address the challenges of ship navigation.
