Hydrogeology of the Oceanic Lithosphere [Paperback]

This book, first published in 2004, reviews the subject of the nature, causes, and consequences of fluid flow in oceanic crust.This comprehensive and up-to-date review of the subject of the nature, causes, and consequences of fluid flow in oceanic crust analyzes much recent research. The accompanying CD includes a full and easily navigated set of diagrams and captions, references, and photos of research vessels, submersibles, and tools used in marine hydrologic studies. The volume will be a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers of Earth Sciences and Oceanography.This comprehensive and up-to-date review of the subject of the nature, causes, and consequences of fluid flow in oceanic crust analyzes much recent research.
