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..
The focus of Introduction to Marine Biogeochemistry is the concept
of the ocean as a system, linking land and atmospheric
processes.
The text integrates the most current research, allowing students to
learn concepts in context
Includes detailed coverage of computational aspects
Offers an online companion site, including a full study guide,
