Aquatic Geochemical Oceanography provides a comprehensive review of the quantitative study of the geochemistry of the ocean. An advanced understanding of aquatic chemistry has never been more important. This book provides an excellent combination of fundamental knowledge required for any aquatic geochemist, and applied problems that allow students to employ their understanding in a quantitative framework. The introductory chapters set the stage for the interdisciplinary nature of geochemistry, while the subsequent chapters provide a detailed description of key aspects of aquatic chemistry. The chapter on trace metals is particularly valuable, as no oceanography textbook to date has incorporated the vast knowledge afforded by the GEOTRACES program.
