Earth Day Collection ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE AND METEOROLOGY

John Seinfeld, California Institute of Technology “An impressive and comprehensive description of the theoretical underpinning and practical application of atmospheric chemistry modeling. Soon to be a classic reference for graduate students and researchers in the field.”

“Brasseur and Jacob, both world leaders in modeling atmospheric chemistry, have written a thoroughly engaging textbook. The breadth and depth … is impressive, but a major strength of the book is the ability of the authors to present often complex information in an accessible way. I have no doubt that this book will help educate future generations of scientists and be a reference point for researchers worldwide.

It will certainly become a well-thumbed volume on my bookshelf.”

This book presents the fundamental principles, mathematical methods and applications of atmospheric chemistry models for graduate students and researchers.

Paul Palmer, University of Edinburgh

David P. Edwards, National Center for Atmospheric Research

Mathematical modeling of atmospheric composition is a formidable scientific and computational challenge. This comprehensive presentation of the modeling methods used in atmospheric chemistry focuses on both theory and practice, from the fundamental principles behind models, through to their applications in interpreting observations. An encyclopedic coverage of methods used in atmospheric modeling, including their advantages and disadvantages, makes this a one-stop resource with a large scope. Particular emphasis is given to the mathematical formulation of chemical, radiative, and aerosol processes; advection and turbulent transport; emission and deposition processes; as well as major chapters on model evaluation and inverse modeling.

AN INTRODUCTION TO CLOUDS

Air Pollution

Complete coverage of air pollution from its sources to its health and environmental impacts, for advanced students and researchers.

Clouds, in their various forms, are a vital part of our lives. Their effects on the Earth’s energy budget and the hydrological cycle depend on processes on the microphysical scale, encompassing the formation of cloud droplets, ice crystals and precipitation.

Cloud formation, in turn, depends on the largescale environment as well as the characteristics and availability of aerosol particles. An integrated approach drawing on information from all these scales is essential to gain a complete picture of the behavior of clouds in the atmosphere.

An Introduction to Clouds provides a fundamental understanding of clouds, ranging from cloud microphysics to the large-scale impacts of clouds on climate. On the microscale, phase changes and ice nucleation are covered comprehensively, including aerosol particles and the thermodynamics relevant for the formation of clouds and precipitation.

At larger scales, cloud dynamics, mid-latitude storms and tropical cyclones are discussed, leading to the role of clouds in the hydrological cycle and their effect on climate.

Each chapter ends with problem sets and multiple-choice questions that can be completed online; important equations are highlighted in boxes for ease of reference. Combining mathematical formulations with qualitative explanations of the underlying concepts, this accessible book requires relatively little previous knowledge, making it ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in atmospheric science, environmental sciences and related disciplines.

Vilà-Guerau de Arellano et al.

In recent years, there has been an increase in the study of the myriad links between the components of Earth system science – in particular the coupling between atmospheric dynamics and land surface processes – by students and researchers in meteorology, atmospheric chemistry, hydrology, and ecology. The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) plays a key role as a region where atmospheric and surface conditions interact in the soil-vegetation-atmosphere system. Studying the ABL therefore provides a unique opportunity to explain and introduce a wide range of concepts related to surface properties, plant physiology, atmospheric chemistry, and atmospheric dynamics.

The authors of this book have developed a software package that readers can use to study all aspects of ABL: the Chemistry Land-surface Atmosphere Soil Slab (CLASS)

software is cross-platform and can be run on WINDOWS, LINUX and OS-X platforms.

It is freely available online via the book’s website (listed below). The combination of the book, which provides the essential theoretical concepts, and the CLASS software, which provides hands-on practical exercises and allows students to design their own numerical experiments, will prove invaluable for learning about many aspects of the

Featuring a single case study of a mid-latitude cyclone, which is woven throughout the text, students are able to: • Return to a familiar case over and over again to understand different concepts, such as how upper-level features interact with the surface cyclone, creating circulations that produce characteristic patterns of cloud and precipitation.

• Investigate the physical processes (such as matter, energy, and motion) that underlie the atmosphere at work, one step at a time. By doing so, students will be able to explain the weather phenomena they experience around the year and throughout the world.

• Build a systematic picture of weather systems by observing and synthetizing the information available, and to gain an appreciation of the fundamental aspects of weather forecasting.

Fluxes of trace gases, water, and energy between the terrestrial biosphere and the atmosphere govern the state and fate of these two coupled systems. This “breathing of the biosphere” is controlled by a large number of interacting physical, chemical, biological, and ecological processes. In this integrated and interdisciplinary book, the authors provide the tools to understand and quantitatively analyze fluxes of energy, complex organic compounds such as terpenes, and trace gases including carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane.

The book first introduces the fundamental principles that affect the supply and demand for energy and trace gas exchange at the leaf and soil scales: thermodynamics, diffusion, turbulence, and physiology. It then builds on these principles to model the exchange of energy, water, carbon dioxide, terpenes, and stable isotopes at the ecosystem scale. Detailed mathematical derivations of commonly used relations in biosphere–atmosphere interactions are provided for reference in appendices.

Provides graduate students and researchers with tools to understand and quantitatively analyse biosphere-atmosphere fluxes of trace gases, water and energy.

An accessible introduction for graduate students to this essential component of Earth system science, this book is also a key resource for researchers in many related fields such as atmospheric science, hydrology, meteorology, climate science, biogeochemistry, and ecosystem ecology.

“A much needed and valuable resource for students and professionals alike. Observations and their analysis are key to understanding the climate system, and those interested in gaining that understanding will find their Rosetta stone here. Approachable by nonspecialists across a broad range of disciplines, this work deserves to be widely read and studied.”

Richard D. Rosen, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (retired)

This book is a comprehensive resource that will enable the reader to understand and appreciate the significance of the flood of climate information.

“A comprehensive, non-mathematical survey of essential concepts of climatic data analysis, filling the gap between introductory textbooks and detailed technical memos. Ropelewski and Arkin expertly place up-to-date analysis concepts into historical context, describing the dramatic evolution of this field over the past half-century – a history in which the authors have played integral roles.”

David S. Gutzler, The University of New Mexico “… a one-of-a-kind presentation of the science underpinning climate variability and change that is accessible to all, and ensures that … critical decisions are supported by the best available science.”

MURRY L. SALBY

Sensational images and stories about variations in Earth’s climate and their impacts on society are pervasive in the media. The scientific basis for these stories is often not understood by the general public, nor even by those with a scientific background in fields other than climate science.

This comprehensive book will enable the reader to understand and appreciate the significance of the flood of climate information. It is an excellent non-mathematical resource for learning the fundamentals of climate analysis, as well as a reference for non-climate experts who need to use climate information and data. The focus is on the basics of the climate system, how climate is observed, and how the observations are transformed into datasets useful for monitoring the climate. Each chapter contains Discussion Questions. This is an invaluable textbook on climate analysis for advanced students, and a reference textbook for researchers and practitioners.

Praise for previous editions:

The third edition of Gordon Bonan’s comprehensive textbook on ecological climatology introduces an interdisciplinary framework to understand the interaction between terrestrial ecosystems and climate change. Ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying ecology, environmental science, atmospheric science, and geography, it reviews basic meteorological, hydrological, and ecological concepts to examine the physical, chemical, and biological processes by which terrestrial ecosystems affect and are affected by climate. The central argument is that plants and terrestrial ecosystems, through their cycling of energy, water, chemical elements, and trace gases are integral determinants of climate. This coupling between climate and vegetation is explored at spatial scales from plant cells to global vegetation geography and at timescales of near instantaneous to millennia. The book also considers how human alterations to land are important for climate change.

Thoroughly updated new edition of Gordon Bonan’s comprehensive textbook on terrestrial ecosystems and climate change, for advanced students and researchers. “ … successfully integrates fundamental concepts in climatology and ecology ... I highly recommend the text for climatologists and meteorologists interested in better understanding the role of vegetation in the climate system, or ecologists and plant physiologists interested in better understanding the role of the climate system in vegetated ecosystems.”

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society

“...highly recommended for students in the atmospheric sciences and physical geography; and for reference libraries.”

Ted Munn, Bulletin of the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society

This new edition has been thoroughly updated with new science and references, and the scope of the book has been expanded beyond its initial focus on energy, water, and carbon to include reactive gases and aerosols in the atmosphere. New or expanded material includes chapters on the anthropocene; reactive nitrogen and climate; aerosols, chemistry, and climate; geoengineering and climate change mitigation; and co-evolution of climate and life. The new edition emphasizes the Earth as a system rather than looking simply at its climate, recognizing interconnections among the planet’s physical, chemical, biological, and socioeconomic components, and emphasizing global environmental sustainability. Each chapter contains chapter summaries and review questions, and with over 400 illustrations, including many in color, this textbook will once again be an essential student guide.

“Gordon Bonan’s excellent … text provides an up-to-date status report on ecosystem– climate interactions … across a broad range of disciplines … clearly outlines the scope of possibility for integrating the physics of climate, the biological principles of ecology, and the biogeochemical pathways that link atmosphere and land surface.”

Introduction to Modern Climate Change DESSLER

The First Edition won the 2014 American Meteorological Society Louis J. Battan Author’s Award

“I’m delighted to see an updated edition of Dessler’s textbook; the new edition reminds me why I liked the book so much in the first place. I used the first edition for my climate literacy courses for first-year non-science majors, as I was impressed with its simple and compelling coverage of the science of climate change and, just as importantly, its social and political context. The students loved the book – some even commented that it was the first time they had actually understood and enjoyed reading a science book. The revised version brings the book completely up to date, and it will ensure it remains my number-one recommendation for an introductory text on climate change.”

– Steve Easterbrook, University of Toronto

INTRODUCTION TO MODERN CLIMATE CHANGE

Second Edition

“Dessler’s book is written so clearly that anyone can read it and understand the major issues in climate change. It hits just the right balance between rigor and comfort, making the whole topic more appealing and accessible to students.”

– Deborah Lawrence, University of Virginia

This is an invaluable textbook for any introductory survey course on the science and policy of climate change, for both non-science majors and introductory science students.

Dessler

SECOND EDITION

This second edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect the most recent science, as described in the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports, and many illustrations include new data. The new edition also reflects advances in the political debate over climate change.

SECOND EDITION

Key features: • tightly focuses on the problem of anthropogenic climate change • unique among textbooks on climate change, combining an introduction to the science with an introduction to economic and policy issues • unlike more descriptive textbooks, it allows students to access the quantitative depth they need for an adequate understanding of the science of climate change. It supports students in using algebra to understand simple equations and to solve the problems at the ends of the chapters • covers predictions of future climate and its impacts on humans and our environment

Thoroughly updated second edition of invaluable textbook for any introductory survey course on the science and policy of climate change.

Clearly structured: • the first half of the book focuses on the science of modern climate change, including evidence that the Earth is warming and a basic description of climate physics. The concepts of radiative forcing, feedbacks, and the carbon cycle are also introduced.

• the second half of the book goes beyond the science to address economics and policy, so each student leaves the textbook ready to engage in the public policy debate on this issue.

The modeling of past, present, and future climates is of fundamental importance to the issue of climate change and variability. Climate Change and Climate Modeling provides a solid foundation for science students in all disciplines for our current understanding of global warming and important natural climate variations such as El Niño, and lays out the essentials of how climate models are constructed.

As issues of climate change and impacts of climate variability become increasingly important, climate scientists must reach out to science students from a range of disciplines. Climate models represent one of our primary tools for predicting and adapting to climate change. An understanding of their strengths and limitations – and of what aspects of climate science are well understood and where quantitative uncertainties arise – can be communicated very effectively to students from a broad range of the sciences. This book will provide a basis for students to make informed decisions concerning climate change, whether they go on to study atmospheric science at a higher level or not. The book has been developed over a number of years from the course that the author teaches at UCLA. It has been extensively class-tested by hundreds of students, and assumes no previous background in atmospheric science except basic calculus and physics.

Conversations about climate change at the science–policy interface and in our lives have been stuck for some time. This handbook integrates lessons from the social sciences and humanities to more effectively make connections through issues, people and things that everyday citizens care about. Readers will come away with an enhanced understanding that there is no “silver bullet” to communications about climate change; instead, a “silver buckshot” approach is needed, where strategies effectively reach different audiences in different contexts. This tactic can then significantly improve efforts that seek meaningful, substantive and sustained responses to contemporary climate challenges. It can also help to effectively recapture a common or middle ground on climate change in the public arena. Readers will be equipped with ideas on how to harness creativity to better understand what kinds of communications work where, when, why and under what conditions in the twenty-first century.

Ours is the Age of Food. Food is a central obsession in all cultures, nations, the media and society. It is fashion, business, industry, pleasure, art, science, social media and healthcare: all in one. Our future supply of food is filled with risk – but it also presents us with spectacular opportunities for expression of fresh human creativity and technological prowess.

In his exciting new book, Julian Cribb describes a new food system capable of satisfying our global needs on this hot and overcrowded planet. This book is for anyone concerned about the health, safety, affordability, diversity and sustainability of their food – and the peace of our planet. It is not just timely – its message is of the greatest urgency.

Climate Capitalism Newell/Paterson

Principles of International Environmental Law

These are the ambitious questions addressed in this book. These are not just technical questions about whether the technologies or policies exist to confront these challenges. They are about questions of strategy, politics and power. How do we begin to assemble the alliances and coalitions that are necessary to transform the global economy? How do we get those with power to support efforts to fundamentally change the way we develop?

Climate Capitalism shows that new, interesting and surprising things are happening in the world of climate politics. Confronting climate change is now understood as a problem of ‘decarbonising’ the global economy: ending our dependence on carbon-based fossil fuels.

This book explores whether such a transformation is underway, how it might be accelerated, and the complex politics of this process. Given the dominance of global capitalism and free-market ideologies, decarbonisation is dependent on creating carbon markets and engaging powerful actors in the world of business and finance. Climate Capitalism assesses the huge political dilemmas this poses, and the need to challenge the entrenched power of many corporations, the culture of energy use, and the inequalities in energy consumption across the globe.

Climate Capitalism is essential reading for anyone wanting to better understand the challenge we face. It will also inform a range of student courses in environmental studies, development

studies, international relations, and business programmes.

Praise for Climate Capitalism:

‘The best book yet written on the complex connections between climate change policy, markets and capitalism more generally. Written in an impartial and balanced way, it should become a standard text in the field.’

Professor Lord Tony Giddens, London School of Economics and Political Science, author of The Politics of Climate Change

Environmental policy, economics and law ‘The question of whether and under what terms capitalism can cope with climate change is the most important and challenging of our age.

Climate Capitalism addresses this issue in an accessible and timely manner. It is required reading for all.’

Feeding the world, climate change, biodiversity, antibiotics, plastics – the list of concerns seems endless. But what is most pressing, what are the knock-on effects of our actions, and what should we do first?

Do we all need to become vegetarian? How can we fly in a low carbon world? Should we frack? How can we take control of technology?

Does it all come down to population? And, given the global nature of the challenges we now face, what on Earth can any of us do?

“a massively entertaining compendium ... also massively important” - Bill McKibben

THERE IS NO PLANET B

Environmental policy, economics and law

In this book Shannon O’Lear brings a geographer’s perspective to the important subject of environmental politics. Our thinking about specific environmental problems tends to be locked in at particular spatial scales which limits our understanding of how those issues have been created, maintained, or hidden from view. This book considers issues of climate change, oil and energy, food security, toxins, waste, and resource conflict to explore how political, economic, ideological and military power have contributed to the generation of environmental issues and the formation of dominant narratives about them.

The book encourages the reader to think critically about the power dynamics that shape (and limit) how we think about environmental issues and to expand their understanding of why it matters that these issues are discussed at particular spatial scales. Applying a geographer’s sense of scale and power leads to a better understanding of the complexity of environmental issues and will help formulate mitigation and adaptation strategies.

Accessible, nontechnical introduction to Earth resources and energy systems, for a broad audience ranging from undergraduate students to lifelong learners.

Carroll

Our energy use and its consequences (including climate change) motivate some of the most contentious and complex public debates of our time. Although these issues are often cast in terms of renewable versus nonrenewable energy, in reality both depend on finite Earth resources. The evolution of the Earth itself therefore offers a uniquely illuminating perspective from which to evaluate alternative pathways toward energy and environmental sustainability. Geofuels: Energy and the Earth systematically develops this perspective using informal, nontechnical language laced with humor. It is well suited to a broad readership, ranging from beginning university students to lifelong learners who are interested in how the Earth’s past will influence their own future. It also provides simplified explanations of controversial topics, such as energy return on energy investment, peak oil, and fracking. The focus throughout is on building a sound physical understanding of how natural resources constrain our use of energy.

This textbook discusses important environmental topics and issues and problems relating to them.

Bryan Karney, University of Toronto Introduction to Environmental Modeling presents an understanding of how basic physical descriptions can be translated into mathematical analogues that provide an opportunity to investigate environmental processes. Examples come from a range of hydrologic, atmospheric, and geophysical problems. The emphasis is on simple examples and calculations that add to understanding. The book provides a sense for the meaning of mathematical expressions, a physical feel for their relations to processes, and confidence in working with mathematical solutions. The goal of this book, in essence, is to present the timeless basic physical and mathematical principles and philosophy of environmental modeling, often to students who need to be taught how to think in a different way from how they would for more narrowly-defined engineering or physics problems. Minimum prerequisites for the student reader include a knowledge of calculus through differential equations, but the book provides the mathematical and physical tools needed as the occasion arises.

This textbook presents the timeless basic physical and mathematical principles and philosophy of environmental modeling.

• Students and instructors are introduced to both the key theories of environmental modeling and what must also be taken into consideration when applying these theories in practical situations.

• Basic concepts of equation modeling are introduced - dimensionality, time scales, length scales - and these concepts are utilized to describe equations used in environmental modeling.

• Despite computing advances, all models must be built on timeless fundamental principles, and these principles are emphasized, providing the reader with the ability to meaningfully engage in current and future environmental modeling challenges.

• Equations and mathematical manipulations are introduced with discussion of why a particular representation describes a corresponding process, allowing students to gain insight into the physics described by an equation and to the use of approximations in describing a problem.

SECOND EDITION

Geomorphology in Anthropocene Andrew S. Goudie and Heather A. Viles

Completely updated and with three new chapters, this analysis of river dynamics is invaluable for advanced students, researchers and practitioners.

Mark Velleux, HDR

Praise for the first edition:

The second edition of Pierre Y. Julien’s textbook presents an analysis of rivers from mountain streams to river estuaries. The book is rooted in fundamental principles to promote sound engineering practice. State-of-the-art methods are presented to underline theory and engineering applications. River mechanics blends the dual concepts of water conveyance and sediment transport. Like the first edition, this textbook contains ample details on river equilibrium, river dynamics, bank stabilization, and river engineering. Complementary chapters also cover the physical and mathematical modeling of rivers. As well as being completely updated throughout, three new chapters have been added on watershed dynamics, hillslope stability, and stream restoration. These new chapters lead to a deeper presentation of probabilistic hydrology. The hillslope stability analysis provides knowledge and methods helpful to understand the stability of riverbanks. Stream restoration is currently popular and three aspects of the aquatic habitat are emphasized: physical characteristics, water quality, and the life cycle of aquatic species. The book provides a thorough mechanical understanding of the formation and propagation of devastating floods, and offers knowledge crucial to the design of appropriate countermeasures to reduce flood impact, prevent bank erosion, improve navigation, increase water supply, and enhance the aquatic habitat.

Throughout the text, hundreds of examples, exercises, problems, and case studies assist the reader in learning the essential concepts of river engineering. The textbook is very well illustrated to enhance advanced student learning, while researchers and practitioners will find the book to be an invaluable reference.

Analytical Groundwater Mechanics Roger Barry and Thian Yew Gan

Past, Present and Future

Strack

Analytical solutions to groundwater flow problems are an essential tool in the hydrogeology toolkit. Otto Strack has produced a must-have reference, drawing together his considerable lifelong contributions to the application of mathematics in hydrogeology. An extremely helpful text from an authority on the topic.

Adrian Werner, Flinders University

Focusing on applications and real-world problems, this advanced textbook explains the fundamentals of groundwater flow for students and professionals.

Written with clarity and purpose, Strack presents a wealth of mathematical solutions and techniques that offer valuable insight in the fundamentals of groundwater flow.

This book is indispensible for all who practice quantitative groundwater hydrology.

Henk Haitjema, Indiana University and Editor-in-Chief of Groundwater

Strack is a recognized expert in the application of analytical techniques to the solution of groundwater flow problems. His classic text Groundwater Mechanics (1989) was a unique collection of these techniques which, while ground-breaking and authoritative, was in some places quite a challenging read. Analytical Groundwater Mechanics is a much clearer distillation of these methods and is full of worked examples and illustrative problem sets. It is a treasure trove of (often clever) analytical solution approaches to groundwater flow problems. I recommend this text for anyone interested in the mathematical modelling of groundwater flow.

James R. Craig, University of Waterloo

Groundwater mechanics is the study of fluid flow in porous media. Focusing on applications and case studies, this book explains the basic principles of groundwater flow using mathematical expressions to describe a wide range of different aquifer configurations. Emphasis is placed throughout on the importance of developing simplified models that can be solved analytically to provide insight into complex groundwater flow scenarios and to allow better interpretation of the full numerical solution.

Focusing first on identifying the important features of a problem, the book explains how to translate practical questions into mathematical form and discusses the interpretation of the results. Illustrated with numerous real-world examples and graphical results, this is an ideal textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in earth science, geological engineering, and environmental engineering, as well as a useful reference for researchers and professionals.

The Global Cryosphere

This is the first textbook to address all the components of the Earth’s cryosphere – all forms of snow and ice, both terrestrial and marine. It provides a concise but comprehensive summary of cryospheric processes for courses at upper undergraduate and graduate level in environmental science, geography, geology, glaciology, hydrology, water resource engineering, and ocean sciences. It also provides a superb up-to-date summary of cryospheric processes for researchers from a range of sciences.

In recent years, studies have shown that the Earth is undergoing potentially rapid changes in all cryospheric components, including Arctic sea ice shrinkage, mountain glacier recession, thawing permafrost, diminishing snow cover, and accelerated melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet. This has significant implications for global climate, hydrology, water resources, and global sea level. This text provides a comprehensive account of snow cover, glaciers, ice sheets, lake and river ice, permafrost, sea ice, and icebergs – their past history, and projected future state.

The book builds on courses taught for many decades by Roger Barry in the Department of Geography at the University of Colorado and by Thian Gan in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Alberta.

Robert Haining, University of Cambridge, UK

At the convergence of the land and sea, coastal environments are some of the most dynamic and populated places on Earth. With the many challenges facing shorelines today, including rising sea levels, increased storms and cyclones, and coastal development, spatial analysis brings valuable insight towards understanding this unique zone. This book shows how the many varied forms of spatial analysis, including mapping, monitoring and modelling, can be applied to a range of coastal environments, such as estuaries, mangroves, seagrass beds and coral reefs. Presenting approaches to modelling, which draw on recent developments in remote sensing technology, geographical information science and spatial statistics, it provides the analytical tools to map, monitor and explain or predict coastal features. With detailed case studies and accompanying online practical exercises, it is an ideal resource for undergraduate courses in spatial science.

Taking a broad view of spatial analysis and covering basic and advanced analytical areas such as spatial data and geostatistics, it is also a useful reference for ecologists, geomorphologists, geographers and modellers interested in understanding coastal environments.

THE URBAN

OCEAN The Interaction of Cities with Water

The oceans play a crucial role in the climate system by redistributing heat and carbon across the planet through a complex interplay of physical, chemical and biological processes. This textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students presents a modern, multidisciplinary approach – essential for a complete understanding of ocean circulation and how it drives and controls marine biogeochemistry and biological productivity at a global scale.

Background chapters on ocean physics, chemistry and biology provide students from a variety of disciplines with a solid platform of knowledge to then examine the range of large-scale physical and dynamic phenomena that control the ocean carbon cycle and its interaction with the atmosphere.

Throughout the text observational data are integrated with basic physical theory to address cutting-edge research questions in ocean biogeochemistry.

Presents a multidisciplinary and observational approach to introduce the physical processes that drive ocean biogeochemistry and global climate change.

• Simple theoretical models, data plots and schematic illustrations are used to summarise key results and connect the physical theory to real observations.

• Advanced mathematics is provided in boxes and the appendix, where it can be drawn on as needed to put theory into practice.

• Numerous worked examples and homework exercises encourage students to develop first-hand experience and skills with real data and research problems.

• Further reading lists at the end of each chapter and a comprehensive glossary provide students and instructors with a complete learning package.

Praise for this book:

‘This is an outstanding book, likely to become a standard text for those needing to know about both ocean physics and biogeochemistry…It will be widely adopted for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses.’ Professor David Marshall, University of Oxford

‘The authors have carefully interwoven physical, biological and chemical fundamentals to achieve a modern approach to the study of the ocean’s circulation and carbon cycle - creating the ideal course text for students and instructors alike.’ Professor Susan Lozier, Duke University ’…thorough yet concise…excellent reading and provides a fresh approach that will be of immense value to future generations of students and new researchers.’

Chemical Oceanography and the Marine Carbon Cycle Emerson/Hedges

The principles of chemical oceanography provide insight into the processes regulating the marine carbon cycle. These topics are essential to understanding the role of the ocean in regulating the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere and global warming.

Chemical Oceanography and the Marine Carbon Cycle provides both a background in chemical oceanography and a description of how chemical elements in seawater and ocean sediments can be used as tracers of physical, biological, chemical, and geological processes in the ocean. The book begins with a description of ocean circulation and biological processes, and then moves on to discuss the chemicals that are dissolved in seawater. Subsequent chapters focus on why the ocean has the chemistry that it does, rather than on details of what is there. The first seven chapters present basic topics of thermodynamics, isotope systematics, and carbonate chemistry, and explain the influence of life on ocean chemistry and how it has evolved in the recent (glacial–interglacial) past. This is followed by topics essential to understanding the carbon cycle, including organic geochemistry, air–sea gas exchange, diffusion and reaction kinetics, the marine and atmosphere carbon cycle, and diagenesis in marine sediments. The many figures in the book (including full-color versions) are available for download at www.cambridge.org/9780521540643.

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.

Developed by two well-known professors of oceanography, Chemical Oceanography and the Marine Carbon Cycle is an ideal textbook for upper-level undergraduates and graduates in oceanography, environmental chemistry, geochemistry, and earth science. It is also a valuable reference for researchers in oceanography.
