The oceans cover more than 70% of the earth's surface to an average
depth of almost 4000 metres. It is therefore not surprising that
exchanges that occur between ocean and atmosphere exert major
influences on the global climate. In addition, there is great
variety within the expanses of the ocean, including large
temperature differences, and enormous biodiversity brought about by
the great chemical diversity within the marine environment. Written
by international experts in the field, Chemistry in the Marine
Environment offers a multidisciplinary and authoritative review of
this important topic. Included is a review of the opportunities and
challenges in developing new pharmaceuticals from the sea and an
examination of contamination and pollution in the marine
environment, which is a cause of great concern world-wide. The
international perspective of this book will engage the interest and
attention of a wide readership, from chemical oceanographers to
policymakers, from students in environmental science to those in
oceanography programmes.
