E-PSCI 186 - Low Temperature Geochemistry I: Introduction to biogeochemical cycles

Institution:
Harvard University
Subject:
Description:
An introduction to low temperature stable isotope biogeochemistry. We will focus on key biogeochemical elements and look to understand the linkages between the biosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere. This begins with a framework for understanding isotopic fractionation: why it happens, how it is preserved, and what it can tell us about the environment. We will explore how to use isotopes to track the transfer of mass in a system, where the systems of study will range in size from a single cell (micron-scale) to world's oceans (> km-scale).
