Product Description
Interest in marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) is very high because it plays an important role in oceanic and global carbon cycling, which in turn impacts weather. Understanding the processes involved in the transformations of carbon, phosphorus, nitrogen, and other major elements in the oceans has been a primary goal of marine biogeochemists and oceanographers over the past decade.This book, in 16 chapters with over 170 figures and tables, reports on the major advances in this area by a distinguished group of international chemical and biological oceanographers. Additionally, it focuses on the role of DOM in elemental cycling - where the greatest informational need currently exists. Biological cycling of the major elements through DOM is assessed throughout, with particular emphasis on the role of marine microbes as active agents in the processing of this materialThe ocean science community's advances for inclusion of DOM in both ecosystem and global circulation models are evaluated |

Absolutely essential reading for DOM aficionados! by B. Walker  5 Stars
March 16, 2009
This book provides a very comprehensive review of marine DOM. I first purchased this book when entering graduate school and have found myself coming back to for insight time and time again. Throughout my graduate career, I've also cited its chapters many times in proposals, publications, grants... There is also additional data in this book not currently available in the literature, making a this a must have for all DOM aficionados! Chapters are incredibly thorough and are authored by outstanding leaders in the field and break down by general DOM topics (chemical composition, production/removal, 14C content, estuaries, DON, modeling, etc). This would also be an excellent text for a graduate level coursework.

The best book you can get when studying DOM by Marie Louise K. Schroter (DK, Eurpe) 5 Stars
May 14, 2008
The Hansell&Carlson-book is probably the best and most up to date book you can get within the field. It has a very covering index and is very well written and can therefore be highly recommended.

| Ocean Biogeochemical Dynamics
by Jorge L. Sarmiento (Author)
Ocean Biogeochemical Dynamics provides a broad theoretical framework upon which graduate students and upper-level undergraduates can formulate an understanding of the processes that control the mean concentration and distribution of biologically utilized elements and compounds in the ocean. Though it is written as a textbook, it will also be of interest to more advanced scientists as a wide-ranging synthesis of our present understanding of ocean biogeochemical processes. The first two...

| Chemical Oceanography and the Marine Carbon Cycle
by Steven Emerson (Author), John Hedges (Author)
The principles of chemical oceanography provide insight into the processes regulating the marine carbon cycle. The text offers a background in chemical oceanography and a description of how chemical elements in seawater and ocean sediments are used as tracers of physical, biological, chemical and geological processes in the ocean. The first seven chapters present basic topics of thermodynamics, isotope systematics and carbonate chemistry, and explain the influence of life on ocean chemistry and...

| Marine Biogeochemical Cycles, Second Edition
by Open University (Author)
This Volume belongs to a series on Oceanography. It is designed so that it can be read on its own, or used as a supplement in oceanogrphy courses. After a brief introduction to sea-floor sediments, the book shows how the activities of marine organisms cycle nutrients and other dissolved constituents within the oceans, and influence the rates at which both solid and dissolved material is removed to sediments. It goes on to review the carbonate system and shows how sediments that come from...

| Biological Oceanography
by Charles B. Miller (Author)
This modern textbook of biological oceanography is aimed at students taking oceanography, marine biology and marine sciences courses. It covers recent developments such as the molecular techniques (including sequence data) that have allowed a re-examination of the ocean's microbial ecology and the role of the various trophic groups in biogeochemical cycling, carbon flow and climate control.
Major topics covered include phytoplankton bloom, microbial food web, marine biogeography, global...
