An Introduction to Organic Geochemistry

explores the fate of organic matter of all types, biogenic and man-made, in the Earth System.

investigates the variety of pathways and biogeochemical transformations that carbon compounds can experience over a range of time scales and in different environments

scope widened to provide a broad and up-to-date background - structured to accommodate readers with varied scientific backgrounds

essential terminology is defined fully and boxes are used to explain concepts introduced from other disciplines

further study aided by the incorporation of carefully selected literature references

It investigates the variety of pathways and biogeochemical transformations that carbon compounds can experience over a range of time scales and in different environments.
