Chemical Oceanography of Frontal Zones: The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry, cartea 116

Editat de Igor M. Belkin
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 oct 2022
This book is a unique and authoritative review of chemical fronts in the ocean world. It includes regional chapters on chemical fronts in all major oceans (Atlantic, Indian, Pacific, Arctic, and Southern) and marginal seas (North Sea, Baltic Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Yellow Sea, and the East Siberian Sea). Thematic chapters focus on diverse topics such as cross-frontal transfer of nutrients; diapycnal mixing and its impact on nutrient fluxes in western boundary currents (Gulf Stream and Kuroshio); front-driven physical-biogeochemical-ecological interactions; dynamics of coloured dissolved organic matter; pollutant concentration and fish contamination in frontal zones; distribution of microplastics in the ocean, and Lagrangian methods to study the transport of marine litter.

This volume will appeal to a broad audience, including researchers, instructors, students, and practitioners of all kinds involved in scientific and applied research, environment protection and conservation, and maritime industries including fisheries, aquaculture, and mining.

Introduction.- Large-scale, persistent nutrient fronts of the world ocean: Impacts on biogeochemistry.- Colored dissolved organic matter in frontal zones.- Contamination by persistent organic pollutants and related compounds in deep-sea ecosystems along frontal zones around Japan.- Major nutrient fronts in the northeastern Atlantic – from the subpolar gyre to adjacent shelves.- The Pacific-Atlantic front in the East Siberian Sea of the Arctic Ocean.- Fronts and gradients in the northeastern Baltic Sea: a review.- Lateral and vertical mixing in the chemical frontal zones: the Kuroshio nutrient stream.- Observations of the coastal oceanic fronts in the northern South China Sea.- Front-driven physical-biogeochemical-ecological interactions in the Yellow Sea Large Marine Ecosystem.- Microplastic transport in the South China Sea.- Lagrangian methods to study fronts and pathways of marine litter in tidal basins.- The role of fronts and eddies in accumulating and influencing floating macro and microplastic dispersal.- Fate of mercury in the Subarctic Front of the North Pacific.- Biogeochemical oceanography and sedimentology of the Macquarie Ridge region, SW Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean.- Biochemical aspects of fronts and eddies of the Mediterranean Sea.- Microbial community and environmental chemistry in the hypoxic zone of the Changjiang River Estuary.

Notă biografică

Igor Belkin holds a PhD in Oceanography from the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, Moscow, Russia. Since 1973, he has been studying oceanic fronts, currents, and eddies in all five oceans from 72°N to 78°S, having spent five years at sea in 16 expeditions, including a six-month drift on the ice island “North Pole-22” in the Arctic Ocean. He also studied the Great Salinity Anomalies in the North Atlantic and climate change in the Large Marine Ecosystems around the world. Since 1997, he has been associated with the Graduate School of Oceanography, University of Rhode Island, Narragansett, RI, USA. Since 2019, he is Professor of Oceanography at the College of Marine Science and Technology, Zhejiang Ocean University, Zhoushan, Zhejiang, China, where he continues his global survey of oceanic fronts and eddies.
