Chemical Oceanography: Element Fluxes in the Sea focuses on the use
of chemical distributions to understand mechanisms of physical,
chemical, biological, and geological processes in the ocean. After
an introduction describing observed chemical concentrations,
chapters focus on using chemical tracers to determine fluxes on a
variety of time scales. Long-term chemical cycles are dominated by
exchanges between seawater and land, sediments, and underwater
volcanoes. Biological and ocean mixing processes dominate internal
chemical cycles that respond to changes on hundred- to
thousand-year time scales. Stable and radioactive isotopes trace
the fluxes of nutrients and carbon to quantify the rates and
mechanisms of chemical cycles. Anthropogenic influences - which
have grown to be of the same magnitude as some natural cycles - are
a specific focus throughout the book. Discussion boxes and
quantitative problems help instructors to deepen student learning.
Appendices enhance the book's utility as a reference text for
students and researchers.
