Description for Geochemistry of Marine Sediments
Hardback. Presents the fundamentals of marine sediment geochemistry by examining the complex chemical, biological, and physical processes that contribute to the conversion of these sediments to rock, a process known as early diagenesis. This graduate text is intended for students of geology, geochemistry, and oceanography, as well as earth scientists. Num Pages: 624 pages, 33 halftones. 75 line illus. 33 tables. BIC Classification: RBGG; RBGK; RBKC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 241 x 162 x 46. Weight in Grams: 1098.
The processes occurring in surface marine sediments have a profound effect on the local and global cycling of many elements. This graduate text presents the fundamentals of marine sediment geochemistry by examining the complex chemical, biological, and physical processes that contribute to the conversion of these sediments to rock, a process known as early diagenesis. Research over the past three decades has uncovered the fact that the oxidation of organic matter deposited in sediment acts as a causative agent for many early diagenetic changes. Summarizing and discussing these findings and providing a much-needed update to Robert Berner's Early Diagenesis: A ... Read more

Reviews for Geochemistry of Marine Sediments
"This excellent and comprehensive volume on the geochemistry of marine sediments synthesizes a large body of recent research as well as the author's own extensive work in the field since 1983. The breadth and depth of the subject matter is supported by approximately 1,000 literature references on 71 pages, and the text is divided into 18 chapters of varying length."
