Introduction to Marine Biogeochemistry/Введение в морскую биогеохимию

Издание на английском языке
The book is dedicated to marine chemistry and covers important aspects of oceanography, emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach to the study of processes in the ocean. It is intended for students at an advanced level and covers topics such as the global biogeochemical cycle of elements, human influence on oceans and climate, as well as the application of marine biogeochemistry in practical fields such as oil exploration and the development of marine natural products. The book also examines chemical processes related to the microbial ecosystem, precipitation formation, and marine pollution. The focus is on the role of oceans in climate regulation and the importance of understanding the interactions between marine and terrestrial processes.
