Abstract: Water, rock, and organic material interact in environmental systems.
The study of geobiochemistry deciphers how microbial life and Earth's chemistry have coevolved and help determine methods to remediate our ground and surface waters. In this lecture, Dr. Cox will discuss the geochemistry and its implications for microbial life from locations including Yellowstone National Park, USA; a recovering stream ecosystem in the Rocky Mountains, USA; and the East Pacific Rise.
