Chemical Oceanography by Professor James W. Murray
Extensive notes by Professor James W. Murray on chemical oceanography
have explored in depth many of the complex chemical processes in the ocean and
include such topics as ocean circulation, carbon cycling, major and trace
elements in seawater, and the ocean as a sink for anthropogenic carbon, among
discussion topics on ocean carbonate chemistry, gas distribution, and gas
exchange processes. Among the concepts that are discussed include stable and
radioactive isotopes, nutrient stoichiometry, biological production, and redox
reactions. The notes also emphasize how chemical tracers play a role in
understanding processes within the ocean, which include both the biological and
geological processes in the ocean. This service has served students and
professionals studying marine chemistry with a solid foundation that satisfies
the understanding of interacting chemical processes within the world's oceans.

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.
