Ocean Chemistry and Climate (aka Marine Geochemistry)

Harvard FAS

The ocean is central to how our planet will respond to rising carbon dioxide levels, and understanding its chemistry unlocks a deeper look into that response. This course is an introduction to that conversation, drawing from real-world examples (marine CO2 uptake, coastal eutrophication, marine deoxygenation, the effects of mining, carbon capture strategies, warming of the arctic, Planetary climates, etc). The class will include lectures, asynchronous video content, student-led modules,…
