"Ocean Biogeochemical Dynamics is an outstanding text for student and professional alike. The authors have developed an exceptionally lucid yet detailed discussion of the major biogeochemical cycles in the oceans, culminating in a quantitative examination of climate change and the contemporary carbon cycle. The book is a tour de force that should be incorporated into all marine chemistry and biogeochemistry courses."Paul Falkowski, Rutgers University"Global ocean

The book is a tour de force that should be incorporated into all marine chemistry and biogeochemistry courses."Paul Falkowski, Rutgers University"Global ocean research projects during the past two decades have resulted in explosive growth in our knowledge of ocean biogeochemistry. Sarmiento and Gruber's book crystallizes this knowledge into a systematic quantitative treatise. For many years to come, this observationand equation-filled volume will serve as a window into the literature on many subjects, a textbook for our classes, and a reference book on our desks. Studied carefully, it could teach chemical, biological, and physical oceanographers to speak a common language."Edward A. Boyle, Massachusetts Institute of Technology"With this book, ocean biogeochemistrythe fascinating science behind the cycling of elements in the sea, and their transformation by biological, chemical, and physical propertieshas finally found its theoretical underpinning. The two authors, both world experts, have succeeded in bringing together in a comprehensive and unified way the mass of information from the different scientific disciplines as well as the numerous observations obtained over the last few decades. This book will serve as the ultimate reference, both for students and the advanced research scientist, for many years to come."Martin Heimann, Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry"The Sarmiento and Gruber text is a very impressive achievement, providing a readable yet advanced treatise on ocean biogeochemistry and providing the best available summary of the advances of the last few decades. The
This book will introduce you to the basics and important concepts of biogeochemical oceanography. It's a good reference book and I think it will be helpful for graduate students to prepare for their qualification exams.
