This book presents an in-depth discussion of the biological and ecological geography of the
oceans. It synthesizes locally restricted studies of the ocean to generate a global geography …

The relationship between primary production in the surface ocean and export of particulate
organic carbon (POC) on sinking particles is examined in studies that have utilized 234Th as …

Phytoplankton plays an important role in the global carbon cycle via the fixation of inorganic
carbon during photosynthesis. However, the efficiency of this “biological pump of carbon” …

The isolation of the Southern Ocean after the opening of Drake Passage some 23–25 million
