Geophysical Properties in Marine Sediments

  • Chapter
Marine Geochemistry

Abstract

The traditional schism of Earth Science education and research into various specialties such as geophysics and geochemistry, although gradually fading, is still very much alive in most of the international and particularly the German academic community. Notwithstanding different experimental methods and often also different scientific objectives, isolated activities are at least ineffective if not a cul de sac in many fields. In recent years, the investigation of marine sediments has advanced to a highly successful example for the opposite strategy in multiple joined research efforts.
