COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Humans are having a direct and
measurable impact on the composition
and cycling of elements of the
earth. The key to understanding
these influences is global biogeochemical
cycles. Biogeochemistry is the
study of how living systems influence,
and are influenced by, the geology
and chemistry of the earth. We
will discuss processes and reactions
governing global biogeochemical
cycles of carbon, nitrogen, sulfur
and anthropgenically active compounds
like mercury and arsenic. Group
discussions will incorporate current
topics in anthropogenic alterations
of natural cycles that lead to
ecosystem degradation.
