EARS 62 Geochemistry

The intent of this course is to further our understanding of the Earth by utilizing the principles of chemistry. We will place particular emphasis on how to obtain quantitative information about the processes controlling the composition of Earth's mantle, crust, ocean and atmosphere. We will examine how abundances of elements and isotopes and chemical equilibria can provide such information.
