ENVS568 - Molecular Biogeochemistry
Course ID
032370
Course Description
The course is devoted to reading and discussion of papers in the emerging field of environmental molecular biogeochemistry. Through reading and discussion, we will explore experiments and models designed to understand coupled biotic-abiotic (e.g., biomineralization, oxidation-reduction) processes in environmental systems. Emphasis is placed on how molecular-scale techniques (e.g., spectroscopy) may be used to probe interactions between chemicals and natural media such as minerals, organic matter and biomass.
