Environmental Science & Technology
FOURTH EDITION
Over the past ten years, a number of new large-scale oceanographic
programs have been initiated. These include the Climate Variability
Program (CLIVAR) and the recent initiation of the Geochemical Trace
Metal Program (GEOTRACES). These studies and future projects will
produce a wealth of information on the biogeochemistry of the world
oceans. Authored by Frank J. Millero, an acknowledged international
authority in the field, the fourth edition of Chemical Oceanography
maintains the stellar insight that has made it a favorite of students,
instructors, researchers, and other professionals in marine science,
geochemistry, and environmental chemistry. Reflecting the latest
updates on issues affecting the health of our environment, this text
• Supplies an in-depth treatment of ocean acidification, a key
emerging environmental problem
• Provides updated coverage on the carbonate system in the ocean
• Presents expanded information on oceanic organic compounds
• Contains updates on dissolved organic carbon, phosphate,
nitrogen, and metals in the ocean
• Offers a new definition of salinity and a new equation of the state
of seawater based on recent, original research
• Describes the new thermodynamic equation of the state of seawater
• Includes full-color graphs and photographs to assist readers in
visualizing the concepts presented
For more than two decades, this book has served as the "classic"
textbook for students and a valuable reference for researchers in the
fields of oceanography, environmental chemistry, and geochemistry.
Designed for both classroom use and self-study, this comprehensive
survey of essential concepts incorporates a wealth of state-of-the-art
reference data discovered on large-scale oceanographic studies
sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the National
Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration.
