Overview"The present volume has been written with the aim of bringing together recent advances in marine geochemistry in a form which can be understood by scientists using the oceans as a natural laboratory, and not just by marine chemists themselves. The fundamental question underlying marine geochemistry is ""how do the oceans work as a chemical system?"". Although the question cannot be fully answered, there have been recent quantum leaps in our understanding of the subject. Three principal factors have made these leaps possible - a) advances in sampling and analytical techniques; b) the development of theoretical concepts; c) the setting-up of large-scale international oceanographic programmes (eg DSDP, MANOP, HEBBLE, GEOSECS, TTO, VERTEX, GOFS, SEAREX) which have extended the marine geochemistry data base to a global-ocean scale."
