Chemical Oceanography

Element Fluxes in the Sea

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This textbook on chemical oceanography presents a broad introduction to this most interdisciplinary of the ocean sciences. Appropriate for undergraduate and graduate students, it demonstrates how ocean chemical distributions are used to determine physical, biological, and geological fluxes and humanity's growing influence on natural processes.
