Marine Organic Geochemistry: Course Description
The study of organic matter within the oceans presents scientists with valuable insight for comprehending the underwater world. This OpenCourseWare explores the cycling of organic carbon in marine environments. Professors Timothy Eglinton and Daniel Repeta lead students through a multitude of topics, including organic geochemistry methods, biogeochemical cycling and radiocarbon in organic materials. Students will also learn important connections between dissolved and non-dissolved matter and be able to distinguish the qualities of sedimentary organic matter. This OpenCourseWare includes selected lecture notes and sample projects completed by on-campus students.
Lecture notes and sample projects are available for free online. Those interested in this OpenCourseWare should visit the Marine Organic Geochemistry course page
