Using a large body of unused archive collections at the national oceanographic centre, declassified material in the UK at TNA, and the US (NATO archives). It is the first monograph to detail the connection between ocean science and surveillance of nuclear activities during the Cold War. This required a complex multi-layered approach using archives of individual scientists, military records, and government papers.
