<P>CO2 in Seawater: Equilibrium, Kinetics, Isotopes (Elsevier Oceanography Series)<BR>By R.E. Zeebe, D. Wolf-Gladrow</P>
<P><BR>Publisher: Elsevier Science <BR>Number Of Pages: 360 <BR>Publication Date: 2001-10-01 <BR>ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0444509461 <BR>ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780444509468 <BR>Binding: Paperback </P>
<P>Carbon dioxide is the most important greenhouse gas after water vapor in the atmosphere of the earth. More than 98% of the carbon of the atmosphere-ocean system is stored in the oceans as dissolved inorganic carbon. The key for understanding critical processes of the marine carbon cycle is a sound knowledge of the seawater carbonate chemistry, including equilibrium and nonequilibrium properties as well as stable isotope fractionation.</P>
<P>Presenting the first coherent text describing equilibrium and nonequilibrium properties and stable isotope fractionation among the elements of the carbonate system. This volume presents an overview and a synthesis of these subjects which should be useful for graduate students and researchers in various fields such as biogeochemistry, chemical oceanography, paleoceanography, marine biology, marine chemistry, marine geology, and others.</P>
<P>The volume includes an introduction to the equilibrium properties of the carbonate system in which basic concepts such as equilibrium constants, alkalinity, pH scales, and buffering are discussed. It also deals with the nonequilibrium properties of the seawater carbonate chemistry. Whereas principle of chemical kinetics are recapitulated, reaction rates and relaxation times of the carbonate system are considered in details. The book also provides a general introduction to stable isotope fractionation and describes the partitioning of carbon, oxygen, and boron isotopes between the species of the carbonate system. The appendix contains formulas for the equilibrium constants of the carbonate system, mathematical expressions to calculate carbonate system parameters, answers to exercises and more.</P>
<P>Summary: Invaluable reference for seawater chemistry and a comparison to terrestrial systems<BR>Rating: 5</P>
<P>I am a graduate student in the field of geochemistry and I strongly recommend this book. It will have a permanent place on bookshelf (once it arrives) as I have found it quite useful in comparing marine water chemistry to soil and water (S=~0) chemistry. The book is suprisingly easy to read, the figures are chosen well and really drive home fundamental points. And as an added bonus, there is a nice series of appendicies loaded with geochemical parameters, solutions to problems in the text, etc...</P>
<P>Summary: The new classic for marine carbonate chemistry<BR>Rating: 5</P>
<P>This book is an essential for those planning to work with the CO2 system in seawater. It is a valuable reference work for those who already understand the system and a useful place to learn for the advanced student. It sits alongside my Stumm and Morgan (Aquatic Chemistry) as essential books in the field.<BR></P>**** Hidden Message *****
