    One of our WHOI authors is the editor of the
    Encyclopedia of Ocean Sciences so we've been very interested
    in getting online access to "our" publication.

    We have been diligently pursuing a date when this service
    will go online. The latest official word we've had
    from Academic Press is "coming later this year."

    The contact person & the URLs to which we are directed have
    changed numerous times. My hunch is that this is caught in the
    recent acquisition of Academic Press/Ideal by Elsevier.
    We hope the service will be launched as soon as the new
    publisher & Academic work out all the licensing terms.

    The premature announcement has generated a lot of scientist
    inquiries and generated much ill-will. I do have a call in
    to the Elsevier Ocean Sciences editor to see if she can
    clarify the status. More when I know something,

    Eleanor
