This much revised and expanded edition provides a valuable and
detailed summary of the many uses of diatoms in a wide range of
applications in the environmental and earth sciences. Particular
emphasis is placed on the use of diatoms in analysing ecological
problems related to climate change, acidification, eutrophication,
and other pollution issues. The chapters are divided into sections
for easy reference, with separate sections covering indicators in
different aquatic environments. A final section explores diatom use
in other fields of study such as forensics, oil and gas
exploration, nanotechnology, and archaeology. Sixteen new chapters
have been added since the first edition, including introductory
chapters on diatom biology and the numerical approaches used by
diatomists. The extensive glossary has also been expanded and now
includes over 1,000 detailed entries, which will help
non-specialists to use the book effectively.
