Geochemistry (地球化學)
Credits: 3
This course provides broad views on inorganic geochemistry to students majoring in Earth Sciences. Although not listed as pre-requests, basic knowledge on freshman level chemistry and petrology promote understanding on some topics. The main themes include (1) formation of elements in the periodic table, (2) variations of element abundances in the Earth system and the associated mechanisms, (3) theories and applications of stable and radiogenic isotopes on geological and environmental processes, (4) interpreting chemical variations in the nature with thermodynamics, and (5) introduction to geochemical analyses. The contents are of entry levels. If interested, students are encouraged to follow with higher level geochemistry courses, such as stable isotope geochemistry, radiogenic isotope geochemistry, U-series disequilibrium, igneous geochemistry, analytical geochemistry, and special topics on geochemistry.
