This course explores fundamental chemical cycles that shape Earth's systems. We examine how minerals influence the chemistry of rain, groundwater, and seawater, and investigate the geochemical controls on soil formation, water quality, mineral resources, and climate. The course also highlights the impact of human activities on these vital biogeochemical systems.
