Organic Geochemistry |
|
Organic Geochemistry is the study of organic compounds in the geosphere on Earth and other planets to answer questions relevant to Earth, Environmental and Space sciences.
|
Organic geochemistry is a relatively recent field of science. This field of science is practiced at the interface of organic chemistry, astrochemistry, biology, and geology, including geochemistry and sedimentology. It is also commonly practiced within the field of oceanography, atmospheric science, and hydrogeology. As a result, organic geochemistry does not only deal with biosynthesized organic matter but also with the fate of anthropogenic compounds (contaminants) as well as abiotic compounds derived from space.
