Reviews

This text will certainly become a classroom standard for training new generations of marine geochemists and inspire their amazing research to come. Brian Haley, Elements Magazine Marine Geochemistry provides the fundamental and novel concepts to study and understand the cycle of chemical constituents in the ocean. An excellent book for students and teachers interested in the oceans role in the earth climate system spiked with numerous great exercises. Frank Norbert, Heidelberg University, Germany This as an excellent toolkit (with instruction manual included!) for any budding geochemist starting out in postgraduate study or for more 'seasoned folk' who want a good text for working with a variety of elements and isotopes in marine science. It is packed full of great figures to illustrate the oceanographic concepts discussed. Simon Ussher, Ocean Challenge

Author Information

"Matthieu Roy-Barman received his Doctorate in Fundamental Geochemistry in 1993 at the Institut de Physique du Globe in Paris, France. After 2 years of post-doc at the California Institute of Technology, USA, he joined the oceanography laboratory of Toulouse University (LEGOS), France, in 1995 as an assistant professor. In 2002, he moved to the ""Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement"" and the Versailles University, France, where he is professor since 2005. His research fields the role of marine particles in the ocean biogeochemical cycles and the fate of contaminant in the urban environment together with methodological developments for the analysis of natural radioactive isotopes. Catherine Jeandel obtained a PhD in marine geochemistry at Paris VII University, France, and later a research position at CNRS. She moved in 1985 to the University of Toulouse, France, where she is working in the ""Toulouse Isotopie Marine"" research group of the Laboratoire d'Etudes en Geophysique et Océanographie Spatiale (LEGOS). Her research is focused on quantifying the fluxes and processes that govern the chemical state of the ocean. She stands among the pioneers in developing trace element and their isotope analyses for seawater and marine particles. With other marine geochemists, she advocates multi-tracer approaches to resolve oceanic processes, yielding the ongoing international GEOTRACES program."
