This course focusses on global cycles of elements and energy, the role of biological processes in these cycles, and the concurrent influence of these cycles on biology and its environment. Topics will include the use of isotopic analysis to understand modern and past cycles, the interaction between global and local processes, and natural and anthropogenic effects on biogeochemical cycles.
