Ocean Geochemistry

Ocean geochemistry studies the chemical composition, processes, and cycles within seawater and its interactions with Earth's crust, sediments, and living organisms. It helps us understand how elements like oxygen, carbon, and nutrients move and change in the ocean, influencing climate, marine life, and the planet's overall health. By analyzing these chemical patterns, scientists can trace past climate changes, understand oceanic and atmospheric interactions, and predict future environmental shifts, playing a crucial role in understanding Earth's systems and maintaining ocean sustainability.
