Extensive notes by Professor James W. Murray on chemical oceanography 
have explored in depth many of the complex chemical processes in the ocean and 
include such topics as ocean circulation, carbon cycling, major and trace 
elements in seawater, and the ocean as a sink for anthropogenic carbon, among 
discussion topics on ocean carbonate chemistry, gas distribution, and gas 
exchange processes. Among the concepts that are discussed include stable and 
radioactive isotopes, nutrient stoichiometry, biological production, and redox 
reactions. The notes also emphasize how chemical tracers play a role in 
understanding processes within the ocean, which include both the biological and 
geological processes in the ocean. This service has served students and 
professionals studying marine chemistry with a solid foundation that satisfies 
the understanding of interacting chemical processes within the world's oceans.
