TRACERS IN THE OCEAN

EDITED BY

H. CHARNOCK, F.R.S., J.E. LOVELOCK, F.R.S.,

P.S. LISS AND M. WHITFIELD

Tracer distributions can provide information about the general circulation of the ocean that cannot be obtained in any other way. Modern chemical techniques are providing maps not only of conservative tracers but also of anthropogenically derived transient tracers that are indicative not only of ocean currents but of mixing processes. The sources and sinks and the complicated biological interactions are gradually becoming better understood but the inclusion of tracer data in schemes for the quantitative estimate of ocean currents remains difficult, partly because of our ignorance of the details of mixing processes. These can be directly studied by using purposeful tracers. Particular attention has to be paid to air-sea transfer processes; that of CO2 is crucial to our consideration of climatic change.

This volume, containing papers presented at a meeting on 21 and 22 May 1987, gives an up-to-date account of ocean tracers and their potential, and will be of interest to chemists, geologists and geophysicists as well as to oceanographers and climatologists.

MAJOR CRUSTAL LINEAMENTS AND

THEIR INFLUENCE ON THE GEOLOGICAL

HISTORY OF THE CONTINENTAL LITHOSPHERE

Crustal lineaments are major faults or fault zones which have ihad a continued influence on the geological evolution of the continental litho- sphere. Contributions to this report evaluate what is known and what is not known about the seismic signatures of major lineaments, their structure and reactivation, their subsequent control of geological processes and their influence on the location of mineral and hydrocarbon deposits.
