Description
This book deals with sedimentary sulfides which are the most abundant authigenic minerals in sediments.�Special emphasis is given to the biogeochemistry that plays such a central role in the formation of sedimentary sulfides. It will be of interest to scientists in a number of disciplines, including geology, microbiology, chemistry and environmental science. The sulfur system is important to environmental scientists considering the present and future effects of pollution and anoxia.�The development of the sulfur system � particularly the characteristics of ocean anoxia over the last 200 Ma � is useful in predicting the future fate of the Earth surface system as well as�in understanding the past. The biochemistry and microbiology of the sulfur system�are key to understanding microbial ecology and the evolution of life.
- First monograph on sedimentary sulfides, covering the ancient and modern sedimentary sulfide systems
- Comprehensive, integrating chemistry, microbiology, geology and environmental science
- All key references are included and discussed
