Overview
This book examines the usefulness of electrochemical methods for understanding complex natural biogeochemical processes. It describes techniques developed to measure trace metals, redox species, and major ions in fresh- and marine waters, hydrothermal vents, sediments,microbial mats, extraterrestrial systems, and at mineral-water interfaces. It will be of use to scientists and researchers who need to describe biogeochemical cycling of trace elements in natural environments.

Booknews
Based on an August 2000 symposium organized by the American Chemical Society, 19 chapters present instrumental designs and techniques currently being employed by researchers using electrochemical means for determining the composition of environmental samples from freshwater and marine water systems. Applications discussed include trace metal measurements in the water column of freshwater and marine environments; redox chemical species in hydrothermal vents, anorexic water bodies, sediments, and microbial mats; major cations and anions in extraterrestrial systems; metal complexing properties of natural waters; and mineral-water interface processes.
