Course context for academic year 2023-24

La oceanografía química juega un papel central en la comprensión de la distribución y la reactividad de los componentes químicos dentro del océano y en las interfaces tierra-océano, sedimento océano y atmósfera-océano. Los océanos cubren aproximadamente el 70% de la superficie terrestre, y su profundidad media es de unos 3900 metros. El transporte de materiales al centro de los océanos se produce principalmente a través de la deposición atmosférica y, en menor medida, de entradas de fuentes hidrotermales, mientras que el océano costero se ve afectado principalmente por el intercambio con los ríos, los procesos atmosféricos y el intercambio de aguas subterráneas con los acuíferos costeros. Este curso muestra cómo la química se puede usar de manera efectiva para comprender procesos y problemas complejos tanto a escala molecular como a escala global.
