Informationen zum Autor David R. Turner was born in London, UK in 1979. He obtained his M.Sci. in Chemistry at King's College, London where he became interested in crystal nucleation and organimetallic anion sensors. He stayed on to do a Ph.D. with Jonathan Steed at King's College and at Durham University, on urea-functionalised anion receptors, including tripodal organic host species and molecular tweezers. His work also involved aspects of crystal engineering and solid state phenomena involving transition metal/ureido systems. Klappentext Im Laufe der 90er Jahre, der sog. "Eisenzeit der Ozeanographie", wurden sehr viele neue Informationen über den Verbleib von Eisen in Meerwasser gewonnen. Anerkannte Experten bieten Ihnen in diesem Band einen Überblick über den aktuellen Stand der Forschung. Das letzte Kapitel fasst die Ergebnisse zusammen und zeigt Prioritäten der zukünftigen Arbeit auf. Zusammenfassung A joint venture between SCOR and IUPAC, this book reviews the current state of knowledge of the biogeochemistry of iron in seawater. The review covers chemical speciation, analytical techniques, transformation of iron, and the evidence for iron limitation of primary production of High Nutrient Low Chlorophyll (HNLC) areas in the ocean.
