CHEM 3262

Introduces students to the biological, chemical, and geological processes underpinning carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, iron, manganese, and phosphorus cycling. Using real-world examples, this course provides an in-depth examination of the interplay between the different processes governing biogeochemical cycles within soils/sediments and along the aquatic continuum. Topics may also include early earth biogeochemistry, methods in biogeochemistry, and the role of spatial/ temporal variability and climate change on earth?s biogeochemical cycles.
