Synopsis

This introduction to the subject emphasizes the interaction of humans with the ocean, as well as the central role which the ocean plays in the global biogeochemical cycling of materials on Earth. It covers all of the major fields involved in marine chemistry - biological, geological and chemical - providing students with an overview of the science.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

An Introduction to Marine Biogeochemistry focuses on the ocean's role in the biogeochemical cycling of selected elements and the impact of humans on the cycling of these elements. Among the topics covered are the chemical composition of seawater from the perspectives of elemental speciation and the impacts of solutes on water's physical behavior; biogeochemical phenomena which control accumulation and preservation of marine sediments; marine chemistry of radioactive and stable isotopes; and seawater pollution. The book contains many examples as well as steady-state models to aid readers in understanding this growing and complex science..
