Organic Geochemistry

Organic geochemistry is the study of the chemical components of organic materials found in Earth’s rocks and sediments. It helps scientists understand the origin, formation, and transformation of organic substances like fossils, oils, and natural gases over time. By analyzing these materials, researchers can explore past environments, climate conditions, and the processes that produce fossil fuels. This field combines chemistry and geology to provide insights into Earth's history and resource potential, assisting in energy exploration and environmental assessment.
