Item #d90may59

Productivity of the Ocean--Present and Past, Vol. 44, W.H. Berger, V.S. Smetacek, G. Wefer, Eds., 470 pp., 1989, $146 (Wiley-Interscience).

Proceedings from a workshop (Berlin, FRG) held in April 1988 containing articles by 43 experts. These report and debate the relationships between the productivity of the modern ocean, the geochemical record preserved in marine sediments, and the validity of possible climate signals. (Reviewed by P.G. Brewer in Science, p. 865, Feb. 16, 1990.)
