Course Description

We will explore the fundamental principles of biogeochemistry, focusing on cycles of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur in aquatic, terrestrial, and atmospheric systems. Special attention will be given to the microbial-mediated transformations of nutrients, organic pollutants, and heavy metals, and the impact of human disturbances in natural and urbanizing soils and water.
