The foundations of chemical oceanography supply perception into the techniques regulating the marine carbon cycle. The textual content deals a history in chemical oceanography and an outline of ways chemical components in seawater and ocean sediments are used as tracers of actual, organic, chemical and geological approaches within the ocean. the 1st seven chapters current simple themes of thermodynamics, isotope systematics and carbonate chemistry, and clarify the effect of existence on ocean chemistry and the way it has advanced within the fresh (glacial-interglacial) prior. this can be via issues necessary to knowing the carbon cycle, together with natural geochemistry, air-sea gasoline trade, diffusion and response kinetics, the marine and surroundings carbon cycle and diagenesis in marine sediments. Figures can be found to obtain from www.cambridge.org/9780521833134. perfect as a textbook for upper-level undergraduates and graduates in oceanography, environmental chemistry, geochemistry and earth technological know-how and a precious reference for researchers in oceanography.
