Chemistry of Marine Water and Sediments edited by Antonio Gianguzza, Ezio Pelizzetti, Silvio Sammartano.

The most important processes on the Earth̀s surface occur in the Ocean where materials and energy are primarily exchanged. In the case of marine chemistry different fields of chemistry from organic to inorganic as well as thermodynamics and biochemistry are involved. Analytical Chemistry is a very i...
