BIOL 403 Biogeochemistry

Credits: 3

The earth system is tightly connected through biogeochemical interactions. This course will present a multi-disciplinary array of intermediate and advanced topics in terrestrial, aquatic, and atmospheric biogeochemistry. Instantaneous to decadal time-scale interactions of carbon, water, and multiple nutrient cycles will be discussed, and a critical survey of the state-of-the-art field, modeling, and remote sensing methods for studying biogeochemical cycles will be presented.

Prerequisites: BIOL 151, (CHEM 106 or CHEM 112), and (PHYS 111 or PHYS 211 or PHYS 207).
Notes: This course is cross-listed with BIOL 503 and AES 403.
