About the course

The Marine and Atmospheric Chemistry Option of the Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry allows the student to extend their laboratory-based understanding of the principles of chemistry to the marine environment, the world ocean, and atmosphere. Your solid foundation in chemistry is broadened by an introduction to chemical oceanography and atmospheric chemistry and the special techniques appropriate to those disciplines. Marine chemists work to understand geochemical distributions and to predict the fate of chemical species in the marine environment. These studies may include both local and global cycles of nutrients and metals, the fate of organic compounds in the sea, trace metal contamination patterns or the generation and cycling of natural gases, like methane and carbon dioxide. Problems of atmospheric pollution and climate change due to increasing greenhouse gases are in the domain of atmospheric chemistry. Chemical research spans the full range of global environments from the stratospheric ozone layer to depths of the ocean. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
