Description
This volume covers the formation and biogeochemistry of a variety of important sediment types from their initial formation through their
conversion (diagenesis) to sedimentary rocks. The volume deals with the chemical, mineralogical, and isotopic properties of sediments
and sedimentary rocks and their use in interpreting the environment of formation and subsequent events in the history of sediments, and
the nature of the ocean-atmosphere system through geological time.
Reprinted individual volume from the acclaimed Treatise on
Geochemistry,
(10 Volume Set, ISBN 0-08-043751-6, published in 2003)
Audience:
Upper-division undergraduate and graduate students in geochemistry, ecology, earth, and soil sciences, especially those with interest in global change or environmental chemistry
