Iron (Fe) is the fourth most abundant element in the earth's crust and plays important roles in
both biological and chemical processes. The redox reactivity of various Fe (II) forms has …

Reduction–oxidation (redox) reactions occur during burial because sediments contain
reactive mixtures of oxidised and reduced components. Diagenetic chemical reactions …

The biogeochemical cycles of iron and organic carbon are strongly interlinked. In oceanic
waters, organic ligands have been shown to control the concentration of dissolved iron. In …

Many physical, chemical, and biological processes in freshwater ecosystems mobilize the
nutrient phosphorus (P) from sediments, which in turn may contribute to the formation of …

Oceanic anoxia—including euxinic settings defined by the presence of water column
hydrogen sulfide (H2S)—is minor in the ocean today. Such conditions, however, were …

Eight geochemical indices used for the interpretation of bottom water palaeo-oxygen
concentrations for argillaceous sedimentary rocks have been calculated for a suite of Upper …

Our increasing knowledge of the geochemical processes of present-day sedimentation
conditions provides a basis for evaluating the role of oxic and anoxic sedimentary …

Sedimentary pyrite formation during early diagenesis is a major process for controlling the
oxygen level of the atmosphere and the sulfate concentration in seawater over geologic …

Aquatic chemistry is becoming both a rewarding and substantial area of inquiry and is
drawing many prominent scientists to its fold. Its literature has changed from a compilation of …

Authoritative, accessible, and updated introduction to sedimentary rocks for undergraduate
students Sedimentary Petrology provides readers with a concise account of sedimentary …
