Description
Chemical Oceanography: Element Fluxes in the Sea is a definitive guide to understanding the chemical processes that govern our oceans. Authors Steven R. Emerson and Roberta C. Hamme provide an in-depth exploration of seawater composition, chemical equilibria, and the mechanisms driving element transport and transformation in marine environments.
The book covers essential topics including nutrient cycling, trace metal biogeochemistry, dissolved gases, and the interactions between ocean chemistry and marine biology. With detailed explanations of fluxes—the movement and exchange of elements between different ocean compartments—this text elucidates how chemical oceanography connects to climate change, ocean acidification, and ecosystem health.
Ideal for advanced students, researchers, and professionals in oceanography, marine science, and environmental studies, this Cambridge University Press publication combines theoretical principles with practical applications and contemporary research findings.
