Berner. 2nd ed. Princeton, N.J. : Princeton University Press, c2012. xiv, 444 p. : ill., maps ; 26 cm. Includes bibliographic reference and index. Introduction to the global environment : the water and energy cycles and atmospheric and oceanic circulation. Introduction -- The global water cycle -- The energy cycle -- Circulation of the atmosphere -- Oceanic circulation -- Air chemistry : the greenhouse effect and the ozone hole. Atmospheric gases -- Carbon dioxide -- Other greenhouse gases : methane, nitrous oxide -- Other greenhouse gases : halogens and tropospheric ozone -- Radiative forcing by anthropogenic factors -- Climatic effects of radiative forcing : climate sensitivity, global warming, and hydrologic changes -- Aerosols -- Ozone and the ozone hole -- Air chemistry : rainwater, acid rain, and the atmospheric cycles of sulfur and nitrogen. Introduction -- Formation of rain (and snow) -- Chemical composition of rainwater : general characteristics -- Cl⁻, Na⁺, Mg⁺⁺, Ca⁺⁺ and K⁺ in rain -- Gases and rain -- Sulfate in rain : the atmospheric sulfur cycle -- The atmospheric nitrogen cycle and nitrogen in rain -- Acid rain -- Chemical weathering : minerals, plants, and water chemistry. Introduction -- Biogeochemical cycling in forests -- Soil water and microorganisms : acid production -- Chemical weathering -- Groundwaters and weathering -- Rivers. Introduction -- Suspended matter in rivers -- Chemical composition of rivers -- Major dissolved components of river water -- Chemical and total denudation of the continents as deduced from river-water composition -- Nutrients in river water -- Lakes. Physical processes in lakes -- Biological processes in lakes as they affect water composition -- Pollutive changes in major lakes : potential loading -- Acid lakes -- Saline and alkaline lakes -- Marginal marine environments : estuaries. Introduction -- Estuarine chemical processes -- Suspended sediment deposition in marginal marine environments -- Antiestuaries and evaporite deposition -- The oceans. Introduction -- Chemical composition of seawater -- pH and the human acidification of the oceans -- Modeling seawater composition -- Energy sources for chemical reactions -- Major processes of seawater modification -- Chemical budgets for individual elements. "This newly revised edition of Global Environment discusses the major elements of the geochemical cycles and global fluxes found in the atmosphere, land, lakes, rivers, biota, and oceans, as well as the human effects on these fluxes. Retaining the strengths of the original edition while incorporating the latest discoveries, this textbook takes an integrated, multidisciplinary, and global approach to geochemistry and environmental problems and introduces fundamental concepts of meteorology, surficial geology (weathering, erosion, and sedimentation), biogeochemistry, limnology, and oceanography. New concepts and information in this updated edition include changes of atmospheric carbon dioxide over geologic time, major advances in the study of chemical weathering of rocks, ocean acidification, and important environmental problems, such as the amelioration of the acid rain problem due to reduction in sulfur deposition, problems with nitrification of soils and lakes, and eutrophication of rivers and estuaries. An expanded chapter explores atmospheric chemistry and changing climate, with the most up-to-date statistics on CO2, the carbon cycle, other greenhouse gases, and the ozone hole. Only requiring a fundamental understanding in elementary chemistry, yet taking into account extensive and current data, this text is ideal for students in environmental geochemistry, environmental geology, global change, biogeochemistry, water pollution, geochemical cycles, chemical oceanography, and geohydrology, and serves as a valuable reference for researchers working on global geochemical and environmental issues"--Back cover.
