OverviewThe Joint Global Ocean Flux Study, World Ocean Climate Experiment, SOIREE, EisenEx, IronEx, and SOFEX have yielded valuable new data on the properties and biogeochemical processes of the oceans. Noted teacher and researcher Frank Millero synthesizes the most important results from these studies in this third edition of Chemical Oceanography. This book features an expanded discussion on the effect of speciation of metals on bioavailability and toxicity, based on new understanding derived from voltammetry methods. The section on carbonate systems in the ocean now includes fundamental chemistry methods. This edition features a sixteen-page color insert, over 400 illustrations, and references to key Web sites.
