# Organic Geochemistry

## ERTH-4540

Origin, transformation, and fate of organic matter on Earth. This course is chemistry-focused and incorporates concepts from biology, geology, and ecology. This course emphasizes reactivity, transport, and storage mechanisms which control the distribution of organic matter in terrestrial and marine systems. Analytical techniques for characterizing organic matter and applications to carbon cycling in natural and perturbed environments are also discussed.
