Developed by two well-known professors of oceanography. Chemical Oceanography and the Marine Carbon Cycle is an ideal textbook for upper-level undergraduates and graduates in oceanography, environmental chemistry, geochemistry and earth science. It is also a valuable reference for researchers in oceanography.

The principal obstacles facing us as scientists studying Earth system science are the finite resources of most educational institutions. Development of this subject requires that we think of novel ways to do interdisciplinary work in a setting dominated by traditional disciplines. Although we can draw heavily on work being done in recently formed disciplines such as chemical oceanography, stable isotope geo-...

Why does Chemistry in the Marine Environment deserve separate treatment within the Issues in Environmental Science and Technology series Is it not true that chemical principles are universal and chemistry in the oceans must therefore simply abide by these well-known laws What is special about marine chemistry and chemical oceanography ... 

The field of chemical oceanography/marine chemistry considers many processes and concepts that are not normally included in a traditional chemical curriculum. While this fact makes the application of chemistry to the study of the oceans difficult, it does not mean that fundamental chemical principles cannot be applied. The chapters included in this book provide examples of important chemical oceanographic processes, all taking place within the basic framework of fundamental chemistry. There are three principal concepts that establish many of the chemical distributions and processes and make the ocean a unique place to practice the art of chemistry (1) the high ionic strength of seawater, (2) the presence of a complex mixture of organic compounds, and (3) the sheer size of the oceans. 

Patterson s friend Edward D. Goldberg at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California, had tipped him off that one of the best records of the world s climate is embedded in thin layers of glacial ice at high altitudes or near the poles. Snow, dust, and fog deposit chemicals from the atmosphere onto the ice, where they remain undisturbed for thousands of years. As Patterson quickly realized, Only the quiescent ice sheets in the arid, perpetually frozen polar regions of the Earth provide annual layers of precipitation that are undisturbed by percolation and mechanical mixing, that are relatively free of dusts and salts, and also are thin enough to be accessible even when centuries old. ...
