Carbon dioxide is the most important greenhouse gas after water
vapor in the atmosphere of the earth. More than 98% of the carbon
of the atmosphere-ocean system is stored in the oceans as dissolved
inorganic carbon. The key for understanding critical processes of
the marine carbon cycle is a sound knowledge of the seawater
carbonate chemistry, including equilibrium and nonequilibrium
properties as well as stable isotope fractionation.
Presenting the first coherent text describing equilibrium and
nonequilibrium properties and stable isotope fractionation among
the elements of the carbonate system. This volume presents an
overview and a synthesis of these subjects which should be useful
for graduate students and researchers in various fields such as
biogeochemistry, chemical oceanography, paleoceanography, marine
biology, marine chemistry, marine geology, and others.
The volume includes an introduction to the equilibrium properties
of the carbonate system in which basic concepts such as equilibrium
constants, alkalinity, pH scales, and buffering are discussed. It
also deals with the nonequilibrium properties of the seawater
carbonate chemistry. Whereas principle of chemical kinetics are
recapitulated, reaction rates and relaxation times of the carbonate
system are considered in details. The book also provides a general
introduction to stable isotope fractionation and describes the
partitioning of carbon, oxygen, and boron isotopes between the
species of the carbonate system. The appendix contains formulas for
the equilibrium constants of the carbonate system, mathematical
expressions to calculate carbonate system parameters, answers to
exercises and more.
