Chemistry of marine water and sediments

The most important processes on the Earth's surface occur in the Ocean where materials and energy are primarily exchanged. In the case of marine chemistry different fields of chemistry from organic to inorganic as well as thermodynamics and biochemistry are involved. Analytical Chemistry is a very important tool for the quantification of biogeochemical processes by providing correct and even more sophisticated methodologies. This book gathers many aspects with the aim of creating a general picture of the chemical processes occurring in the marine environment.
