Focuses on the ocean's role in the global biogeochemical cycling of selected elements and the impact of humans on the transport of these elements. Among the topics covered are the chemical composition of seawater from the perspectives of elemental speciation and the impact of solutes on water's physical behavior; biogeochemical phenomena which control accumulation and preservation of marine sediments; marine chemistry of radioactive and stable isotopes; seawater pollution. Contains many examples as well as steady-state models to aid readers in understanding this relatively young, growing and complex science.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Marine Biology Enthusiast,
By A Customer
This review is from: An Introduction to Marine Biogeochemistry (Hardcover)
This book has not been edited since 1992. New discoveries and concepts introduced since 1992 need to be added and the book should be thoroughly revised.

Dr. Libes is thorough and easy to understand,
By ditri (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: An Introduction to Marine Biogeochemistry (Hardcover)
In this text, Dr. Libes tackles the inter-relationship between all the sciences as they occur in the marine environment. She entertains the most complex concepts with pragmatic efficiency. It is a delight to read and work through, levaing you with a real sense of understanding. Excellent and resourceful, this text is a must for any serious Oceanographer.
