Lecture
Notes of Professor James W. Murray Chemistry of Oceanography: Comprehensive
overview of ocean circulation, the carbon cycle, and chemical composition of
seawater Important topics include trace elements, distribution of gases, and
processes of gas exchange Principles of mass balance, ocean carbonate chemistry,
and stoichiometry of nutrient utilization in biological production. Redox
reactions, iron distribution, and the ocean nitrogen cycle are also critically
evaluated in their interactions. Here's an important read for students as well
as researchers of marine chemistry as an approach to give a foundational outline
of the chemical processes of the ocean and their role in the shaping of global
systems.
This document covers many matters of
concern in marine chemistry, with an emphasis on contaminants of emerging
concern. It goes on to describe techniques for passive sampling for pollutants
in marine environments, chemical emissions associated with offshore renewable
energy developments, microplastics and their environmental impacts, sediment
quality guidelines and criteria, and nutrients and chlorophyll in marine
ecosystems. The discussion on ocean acidification features in tandem with
international, national, and regional activities relevant to contaminants in
biota. The resource is invaluable to researchers and environmental professionals
working on marine pollution and health issues in oceans, as it provides a
complete overview of the ever-growing concerns regarding marine chemistry facing
the impacts of climate change and human industrial activities.
