Introduction to Organic Geochemistry 2e

An Introduction to Organic Geochemistry explores the fate of organic matter of all types, biogenic and man-made, in the Earth System. * investigates the variety of pathways and biogeochemical transformations that carbon compounds can experience over a range of time scales and in different environments * scope widened to provide a broad and up-to-date background - structured to accommodate readers with varied scientific backgrounds * essential terminology is defined fully and boxes are used to explain concepts introduced from other disciplines * further study aided by the incorporation of carefully selected literature references * It investigates the variety of pathways and biogeochemical transformations that carbon compounds can experience over a range of time scales and in different environments.
