organic geochemistry

Organic geochemistry is the study of the impacts and processes that organisms have had on the Earth.

The society meets annually, and the location of the meeting usually occurs at (or near) a university department with links to research in organic geochemistry.

Modern organic geochemistry includes studies of recent sediments to understand the carbon cycle, climate change, and ocean processes.

The mineral abelsonite is named after Abelson in recognition of his contribution to organic geochemistry.

Echoes of Life chronicles the history of the discipline of organic geochemistry.

He was also responsible for the study of organic geochemistry at UFRJ.

Specializations include cosmochemistry, biochemistry and organic geochemistry.

Organic geochemistry involves the study of the role of processes and compounds that are derived from living or once-living organisms.

Palynofacies studies are often linked to investigations of the palynology and organic geochemistry of sedimentary rocks.

In addition, Dr. Calvin worked on organic geochemistry, chemical evolution, chemical carcinogenesis and the analysis of moon rocks.

Organic Geochemistry is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Elsevier covering research on all aspects of organic geochemistry.

British Organic Geochemical Society (BOGS) is an organization that aims to promote, exchange and discuss all aspects of organic geochemistry.

The study of organic geochemistry is usually traced to the work of Alfred E. Treibs, "the father of organic geochemistry."

Alfred Treibs Medal - The Organic Geochemistry Division (OGD) of the Geochemical Society awards this for major achievements, over a period of years, in organic geochemistry.

It included numerous research cruises in all of the oceans of the world, with many projects studying the biology and organic geochemistry of organic matter as it cycles in the water column and eventually settles on the seafloor.

The creek is named after USGS hydrologist Elizabeth C. Bowles, a member of the field team in the 1987-88 summer season, who conducted a study of organic geochemistry of streams flowing into Lake Fryxell.

A second team led by Dr. Kliti Grice, a professor of organic geochemistry at Curtin University of Technology near Perth, Australia, came to similar conclusions looking at sedimentary rocks from western Australia and southern China.

Bill Green, writing in Chemical & Engineering News, called it "a remarkable book" and a "highly readable introduction to the field of organic geochemistry and that it also manages to capture the deep sense of curiosity and wonder associated with scientific investigation."

OGD Best Paper Award - The Organic Geochemistry Division (OGD) of the Geochemical Society awards this to the authors of a paper published in the previous year with significant contributions to organic geochemistry.
