Year: 2005 Language: English Author: Fütterer D.K. Genre: Textbook Publisher: Springer-Verlag Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 583 Description: Today, most branches of science have been extensively described. As to their objectives and interrelationships they are also well distinguished from the adjoining science disciplines. In this regard, marine geochemistry makes an exception, as does geochemistry in general, for - depending on the scientist’s educational and professional career - this particular field of research can be understood more or less in terms of geology, chemistry, biology, even mineralogy or oceanography. Despite some occasional objection, we conceive our interdisciplinary approach to marine geochemistry rather as an opportunity - even if our own origins most certainly lie in the geosciences. R. Chester (1990) emphasized the chemistry of the water column and the relations to continental inputs in his book on “Marine Geochemistry”. For us, however, the investigation of the marine surface sediments and the (bio)geochemical processes taking place therein will be of major concern. We therefore see our book as a continuation of what R.A. Berner (1980) initiated with his classical work “Early Diagenesis”, with which he had a determining influence in pointing the way ahead. The concept and the contents we present here is addressed to graduated students of earth science who specialize in marine geochemistry.
