Geochemistry Of Sedimentary Carbonates, Volume 48 (developments In Sedimentology)

this Book Covers The More Basic Aspects Of Carbonate Minerals And Their Interaction With Aqueous Solutions; Modern Marine Carbonate Formation And Sediments; Carbonate Diagenesis (early Marine, Meteoric And Burial); The Global Cycle Of Carbon And Human Intervention; And The Role Of Sedimentary Carbonates As Indicators Of Stability And Changes In The Earth's Surface Environment. The Selected Subjects Are Presented With Sufficient Background Information To Enable The Non-specialist To Understand The Basic Chemistry Involved. Tested On Classes Taught By The Authors, And Approved By The Students, This Comprehensive Volume Will Prove Itself To Be A Valuable Reference Source To Students, Researchers And Professionals In The Fields Of Oceanography, Geochemistry, Petrology, Environmental Science And Petroleum Geology.
