Global geochemical cycles are the processes that control the chemical composition of the environment, particularly the ocean and the atmosphere. The emphasis in this book is on the theory of global geochemical calculation, the methods used to calculate the composition of the environment, and exploration of changes that might occur in time. The goal is to enable Earth scientists to set up their own geochemical models; to explain how to represent a geochemical system in mathematical terms; and how to solve the systems of equations that typically arise in geochemical modelling.
Why simulate?; How to calculate a compositional history; How to deal with several reservoirs; How to solve a nonlinear system; The carbon system and several useful procedures; How to calculate isotope ratios; Climate: a chain of identical reservoirs; Interacting species in identical reservoirs.
'The book is written in a very straightforward, easy to understand manner ... It is a well produced book and an excellent office companion. I suspect that it will be influential and will lead to much increased application of the methodology of computational simulation of environmental change.'H. Elderfield, Geological Magazine, volume 130, part 1, 1993
