• GEOL 4020: Global Biogeochemistry

  3.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  Biogeochemistry is the exploration of the physical, chemical, and biological processes that govern the exchange of energy and elements between the biosphere and the geosphere. This course will examine principle global biogeochemical cycles with a focus on geologic processes and geologic origins. Prerequisites: GEOL/ESS 2000.
