Humans have had a long relationship with the ebb and flow of tides on river deltas around the world.challenging. The goal of this book is to provide information on the historical relationship between humans and deltas that will hopefully encourage immediate preparation for coastal management plans in response to the impending inundation of major cities, as a result of global change around the world.

The fifth volume in the Harte Research Institute’s landmark scientific series on the Gulf of Mexico provides the first comprehensive study that covers the major core subjects of chemical oceanography in the Gulf. It synthesizes a tremendous amount of established research, together with the most recent information emerging from studies conducted during and after the Macondo Well oil spill that resulted from the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform. Situated within the boundaries of a changing semi-tropical region, the Gulf of Mexico is a particularly important body to its bordering countries—the United States, Mexico, and Cuba—and directly influences the economies of these nations through shipping, oil and gas extraction, mineral mining, fisheries, and myriad ecosystem services and recreational opportunities. The changing chemistry of the Gulf also has wide-ranging effects on weather patterns as many of the hurricanes that reach land in the US and Mexico pass through this ocean basin. We are already seeing some of the consequences of climate change, including, to name one example, the increased frequency of harmful algal blooms, the cause of which is still unknown in most cases. This book brings together a team of expert chemical oceanographers from the US and Mexico to provide a foundational understanding of the complex chemistry of North America’s only marginal sea. Gulf of Mexico Origin, Waters, and Biota: Volume 5, Chemical Oceanography serves as an important reference for understanding the basic science, management, and economic issues facing the Gulf of Mexico while pointing out key topics in critical need of additional research.

Thomas Stephen Bianchi is an American oceanographer and biogeochemist recognized for his research on organic geochemistry, aquatic carbon cycling, and river–coastal systems. He has held professorships at major U.S. universities and serves as an editor in leading scientific journals, contributing significantly to the field of marine science.
Education
Bachelor in Biology/Chemistry, Dowling College, Oakdale, New York, 1978. Master of Arts in Biology, State University of New York, Stony Brook, 1981. Doctor of Philosophy in Marine Science, University Maryland, 1987.
Career
Bianchi is currently a full professor and holder of the Jon and Beverly Thompson Endowed Chair in Geological Sciences at the University of Florida (UF), Gainesville, Florida. Before joining UF he held full professor positions at Tulane University and Texas A&M University. His general areas of expertise are organic geochemistry, chemical oceanography, and global carbon cycling in aquatic ecosystems.
Achievements
-
Bianchi is currently Editor-in-Chief of the journal Marine Chemistry and has served as an Associate Editor for numerous other journals. He is the recipient of two Fulbright Research Awards, became a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2012, and in 2017 was named Geochemical Fellow of the Geochemical Society (GS) and The European Association of Geochemistry (EAG), and Fellow of the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO). In 2018 he was awarded the Qilu Friendship Award from the People's Government of the Shandong Province, China. Bianchi has also been a Fulbright Research Scholar in Cyprus and Sweden. Finally, he has given over 100 invited lectures in numerous countries around the world and has served on many scientific committees.
