Session 19: Early Diagenesis I

MIT 12.742 Marine Chemistry, Fall 2006 Instructor: Karen Casciotti View the complete course: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/12-742-marine-chemistry-fall-2006 YouTube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUl4u3cNGP60Pp6pulxQtwnCtlorxCN40 *Note: Audio files are available only for a selection of lecture sessions.* This lecture introduces marine sediments as a crucial but often overlooked part of chemical oceanography. Although the sediment surface layer is only 10–20 cm thick, it acts as a major interface between the ocean water column and buried sediments—similar in importance to the air–sea boundary or estuaries.
