Geochemistry and Environmental Chemistry (A.B.)

The Geochemistry and Environmental Chemistry concentration offers two different emphases. Low-temperature geochemistry involves study of chemical and biochemical processes on and near Earth's surface, including land, oceans and freshwater bodies, and how the geochemical record reflects climate conditions. High-temperature geochemistry includes study of the formation and evolution of the Earth and other planets, magma formation and properties, volcanic activity, and metamorphism. The A.B.
