Hole Oceanographic Institution Research Departments (continued):
Research
in the Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry Department (MCG)
involves all aspects of oceanic chemical fluxes.
MCG
researchers use laboratory, field-based, and computational
tools to understand the processes that control the chemistry
of the oceans. Research projects often focus on mechanisms
and rates of chemical transport at ocean boundaries, from
the flux of pollutants in the coastal zone to the effects
of ocean biology on atmospheric carbon dioxide, and hydrothermal
influences on the deep ocean.
