Hardcover ISBN-13: 978-0521887076

This engaging and comprehensive volume serves as an excellent introduction to this topic for students with a broad range of backgrounds in the physical sciences. The author engages the reader from the start with a succinct and fascinating history of physical oceanography and reminds us of the lasting impact of the H.M.S. Challenger expedition (1873–1876) on this field. This book combines these past achievements with contemporary research to inform the reader with a diverse and comprehensive overview of the chemistry of the sea.
