Book Description:
|
The world's oceans act as a reservoir, with the capacity to absorb and retain carbon dioxide. The ocean carbon cycle therefore has implications during conditions of climate change. Written by an international panel of scientists, this unique volume provides a synthesis of the work of the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study, the first multidisciplinary programme to directly address this issue. It will appeal to all those seeking an up-to-date overview of the role of ocean processes in Earth...

Written by an international panel of scientists, this unique volume provides a synthesis of the work of the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study, the first multidisciplinary programme to directly address this issue. It will appeal to all those seeking an up-to-date overview of the role of ocean processes in Earth system science and their wider implications on climate change.
