Geochemistry Minor
Geochemistry is a state-of-the-art science that studies the abundance and mobility of elements and compounds and their movement through Earth’s continental crust, atmosphere, oceans, lakes, rivers and streams. The skills acquired through this minor are relevant to students interested in environmental and natural-resource topics associated with archaeological, anthropological, biological, chemical and geological studies.
