The oceans contain a great biodiversity of marine organisms.
They include a rich variety of unusual genes and biochemistries and
hence a diverse array of organic compounds ranging from colourful
carotenoids and chlorophylls to lipids with structures ranging from
the simple to the complex. This volume brings together ten chapters
on the occurrence and identification of the lipid biomarkers and of
pigments in marine waters. It describes how they can be used in
conjunction with stable isotopes and molecular biology to ascertain
the sources and fate of organic matter (both natural and pollutant)
in the sea and underlying sediments. The authors are each experts
in their field and the chapters provide both an overview of the
state-of-the-art and knowledge gaps together with abundant detail
to satisfy the needs of specialists and non-specialists alike.
