Introduction to organic geochemistry

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 carefu.

  • "To begin with, a brief statement of what constitutes organic geochernistry is probably called for. It is the study of the transformation undergone by organic matter of all types, whether of biological or rnanrnade origin, in the Earth System. The transformations involved vary from those mediated by biological processes involved in the production of living tissue and the operation of food-chains, to those controlled by temperature and pressure at depth in the crust. Photochernical processes in the atmosphere and hydrosphere can also be important in controlling the environmental behaviour of some organic compounds. Our knowledge of organic geochernistry has been expanding at such a great rate that a comprehensive text on the subject would fill many books of this size. To a newcomer, the bulk of inforrnation and the terrninology adopted from a range of disciplines, such as chernistry, geology, ecology, biochernistry, botany and oceanography, can be quite daunting. However, to those not readily deterred, the fascination of the subject soon becomes apparent. If only the basics of organic geochernistry could be found readily at hand rather than scattered through textbooks and journals of a number of disciplines! These were our thoughts when we first carne to the subject in the 1980s, and they subsequendy provided the stimulus for this book when one of us (SDK) began teaching the subject to undergraduates and postgraduates."
