Marine Geochemistry Book

Marine Geochemistry offers a fully comprehensive and integrated treatment of the chemistry of the oceans, their sediments and biota. It addresses the fundamental question `How do the oceans work as a chemical system?' by capitalizing on the significant advances in understanding oceanic processes made over the past three decades. Advances, which have been facilitated by improved sampling and analytical techniques, a better understanding of theoretical concepts and the instigation of large-sized international oceanographic programmes. Intermediate and advanced students with interests in chemical oceanography, marine geochemistry, marine biology, and environmental chemistry will welcome this revised comprehensive text. Other students in the broader field of earth sciences will find it to be an essential reference source dealing with the interaction between the atmosphere, the ocean and the solid earth.Read More

  • Product Description

    The present volume has been written with the aim of bringing together recent advances in marine geochemistry in a form which can be understood by scientists using the oceans as a natural laboratory, and not just by marine chemists themselves. The fundamental question underlying marine geochemistry is "how do the oceans work as a chemical system?". Although the question cannot be fully answered, there have been recent quantum leaps in our understanding of the subject. Three principal factors have made these leaps possible - a) advances in sampling and analytical techniques; b) the development of theoretical concepts; c) the setting-up of large-scale international oceanographic programmes (eg DSDP, MANOP, HEBBLE, GEOSECS, TTO, VERTEX, GOFS, SEAREX) which have extended the marine geochemistry data base to a global-ocean scale.
