Environmental and Low-Temperature Geochemistry

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the principles of geochemistry, this book explores natural processes at the Earth's surface and the effects of human activities. It covers the behavior of elements and compounds across various environments, including soils, waters, and sediments, while addressing both thermodynamic and kinetic factors. The updated edition emphasizes current issues such as the carbon cycle, global warming, and ocean acidification, providing essential knowledge for understanding environmental challenges through fundamental geochemical principles and empirical evidence.
