| Abstract |
Ocean geochemistry is the discipline focusing mostly on the inorganic constituents of seawater in the world oceans. Interactions with biology and organic chemistry, and external sources and sinks, such as rivers, atmosphere, hydrothermal vents, and sediments, do play a role. Marine geochemistry comprises a far wider range including other aspects of inorganic geochemistry and organic geochemistry, and secondly not only the seawater but also investigations focusing on the underlying marine sediments and their inorganic and organic contents. |
