Chemical Oceanography Element Fluxes in the Sea
- Textbook
Description
Chemical Oceanography: Element Fluxes in the Sea focuses on the use of chemical distributions to understand mechanisms of physical, chemical, biological, and geological processes in the ocean. After an introduction describing observed chemical concentrations, chapters focus on using chemical tracers to determine fluxes on a variety of time scales. Long-term chemical cycles are dominated by exchanges between seawater and land, sediments, and underwater volcanoes. Biological and ocean mixing processes dominate internal chemical cycles that respond to changes on hundred- to…

Key features
- Emphasis in each chapter on human influences on processes, which have grown to be of the same magnitude as some natural cycles: allows students to understand their own impact on the oceans and engage more closely with the topic of chemical oceanography
- Text and problems rely on only a little background in physics, chemistry, geology or biology to grasp the basic concepts: students can learn without the need for extensive prerequisites
- Presents concepts in a straightforward manner with additional appendices and problems spanning a range of difficulty levels: ensures accessibility to undergraduates, while still challenging students at the graduate level
- Each chapter includes qualitative discussion boxes and quantitative problems: creates opportunities for students to actively engage with and apply important concepts
