Changing concentrations of greenhouse gasses are key to our changing climate. Biogeochemical Cycles and Climate examines the interaction of the main biogeochemical cycles of the earth with the physics of climate from the perspective of the earth as an integrated system. Biogeoc…
This book describes the interaction of greenhouse gasses with the Earth System. It takes the perspective of the Earth as an integrated system and provides examples of both changes in our current climate and those in the geological past. The book gives a required elementary descr…
Held in 1993 in Niterói, Brazil, the first International Conference on Environmental Geochemistry in Tropical Countries established a starting point for this book. The book opens with a discussion of the points that arose during the closing session, summarised by Dr. E.K. Duursm…
This title presents an integrated approach to the geochemistry of the earth's surface, including topics ranging from environmental contamination of air, water, and soil to natural processes such as chemical weathering, carbonate equilibria and sediment diagenesis.
Background and basic chemical principles : elements, ions, bonding, reactions -- Surficial and environmental mineralogy -- Organic compounds in the environment -- Aqueous systems and water chemistry -- Carbonate geochemistry and the carbon cycle -- Biogeochemical systems and cyc…
Environmental and Low-Temperature Geochemistry presents conceptual and quantitative principles of geochemistry in order to foster understanding of natural processes at and near the earth's surface, as well as anthropogenic impacts and remediation strategies. It provides the read…
