| Description: |
The
second edition of The Biomarker Guide is a fully updated and expanded
version of this essential reference. Now in two volumes, it provides a
comprehensive account of the role biomarker technology plays both in
petroleum exploration and in understanding Earth history and processes.
Biomarkers are compounds found in crude oil with structures inherited
from once-living organisms. They persist in oil spills, refinery
products and archaeological artifacts, and can be used to identify the
origin, geological age and environmental conditions prevalent during
their formation and alteration. This Guide details the origin of
petroleum, technology for its analysis and key parameters for
interpretation. The Biomarker Guide is an invaluable resource for
geologists, petroleum geochemists, biogeochemists, environmental
scientists and archaeologists.
