Summary:

This volume is unique in its consideration of severe oxygen depletion in coastal shelf waters from the perspectives of both marine ecology and geology. The editors highlight the significance of modern studies for improved understanding of the ancient oxygen-deficient continental shelf environments. Accounts of modern anoxia are then presented, from areas as diverse as the Gulf of Mexico, New York Bight, Chesapeake Bay, the Adriatic Sea, SW Africa and Peru-Chile. These are followed by Devonian to Tertiary examples of ancient anoxic facies from the USA, Greenland, Germany, UK, Brazil. France and Hungary.
