Professor Sung Yong Kim Publishes English Book, 'A Cup of Coffee and the Ocean'
<Professor Sung Yong Kim from Department of Mechanical Engineering> Professor Sung Yong Kim of the Department of Mechanical Engineering announced the publication of his English book, ‘A Cup of Coffee and the Ocean: Basics of Ocean Dynamics for Everyone’, by the world-renowned academic publisher Springer Nature on August 22nd. The book was designed to easily explain the basics of the ocean, various physical phenomena, and safety common sense to high school students, university students, and the general public, using the familiar subject of coffee. Professor Kim previously published 'Coffee and the Ocean,' Volume 34 of the 'Scholars Talk about Science and Technology' series, with support from the Korean Academy of Science and Technology in 2019. The new English edition is a rewrite based on that content, targeting an international readership. The book explains the characteristics of fluids found in everyday coffee, expanding this to illustrate fluid phenomena in the ocean, and also includes various ocean-related safety tips. The goal is to help readers understand the principles of fluids and raise awareness of marine safety. Furthermore, it emphasizes that understanding the ocean is directly connected to national competence and includes a plea from the perspective of an oceanographer. Professor Kim commented, "The ocean is a global shared space that is not limited by the boundaries of specific regions. This English book was published to broaden the understanding of the ocean not just domestically but among readers worldwide. Through this, I hope to see more oceanographers with a sense of mission who can see the bigger picture."
