Biogeochemistry of Marine Dissolved Organic Matter

Biogeochemistry of Marine Dissolved Organic Matter, 3rd Edition, edited by Dennis A. Hansell and Craig A. Carlson, is a reference publication examining ocean chemical dynamics. The work synthesizes technical research on marine carbon structures to establish current knowledge across aquatic science. It provides structured reference material suited for advanced coursework and scientific research environments.

The thematic coverage focuses on analytical techniques, chemical fractions, and physical transport mechanisms. Detailed chapters examine dissolved metabolites in seawater, UV-visible spectroscopy applications, and chemical dynamics within sediment pore waters. Further analytical sections evaluate the biogeochemistry of organic phosphorus in seawater and marine photochemistry. The volume extends to computational oceanography by presenting methods for modeling dissolved organic matter dynamics from local ecosystem scales up to global oceanic scales.

A defining structural element of this edition is the inclusion of nine new chapters that integrate recent scientific developments. This reference targets upper-level undergraduate students, graduate students, and active marine scientists seeking grounded material on ocean carbon systems.
