Marine Chemistry

Marine Chemistry is the study of the chemical makeup of seawater and its components, including the dissolved elements, compounds, and nutrients. Marine Chemistry helps to understand the biological and physical processes that are driven by the ocean's chemical composition. This knowledge can be crucial for understanding climate change, ocean acidification, and the impacts of pollutants. Marine Chemistry is also used to identify and monitor harmful pollutants, and to provide safeguards against natural and human-made disasters.
