Published by way of the yank Geophysical Union as a part of the Geophysical Monograph sequence, quantity 43.
This choice of twenty-six papers arose partially from a unique consultation on the Fall 1985 AGU assembly and displays the turning out to be examine curiosity within the many assorted features of submarine and island volcanoes within the deep sea. for that reason, this booklet includes learn and assessment articles facing various themes together with seamount abundances, morphology, geophysical features, sedimentology, geochemistry and relationship in addition to actual oceanography and biology. we've tried to pick papers for disciplinary stability and likewise to supply a mix of learn articles and evaluate papers. We commit this e-book to H. W. Menard whose lifelong fascination with seamounts, islands and atolls supplied nice impetus to their study.

U-Th Series Nuclides in Aquatic Systems, Volume 13 (Radioactivity in the Environment)
Significant development within the U-Th dimension innovations because the 1990's have ended in new possibilities for using those nuclides to probe into aquatic approaches in higher element. This quantity offers state of the art experiences at the functions of U-Th sequence nuclides to "time" and "tag" in quite a few approaches taking place in aquatic structures.
Advances in Geophysics, Vol. 44
This sequence presents a venue for longer experiences of present advances in geophysics. Written at a degree obtainable to graduate scholars, the articles serve to develop wisdom of assorted fields and should be beneficial in classes and seminars.
Key Concepts in Environmental Chemistry
Key innovations in Environmental Chemistry presents a contemporary and concise advent to environmental chemistry ideas and the dynamic nature of environmental platforms. It deals an severe, one-semester exam of chosen recommendations encountered during this box of analysis and gives built-in instruments in explaining advanced chemical difficulties of environmental value.
Biogeochemistry of Marine Dissolved Organic Matter, Second Edition
Marine dissolved natural topic (DOM) is a fancy mix of molecules chanced on during the world's oceans. It performs a key function within the export, distribution, and sequestration of carbon within the oceanic water column, posited to be a resource of atmospheric weather law. Biogeochemistry of Marine Dissolved natural topic, moment version, makes a speciality of the chemical ingredients of DOM and its biogeochemical, organic, and ecological value within the international ocean, and gives a unmarried, detailed resource for the references, details, and proficient judgments of the group of marine biogeochemists.
