Lecture

Anoxia in (sur)face environments

Description

This lecture explores the impact of anoxia in (sub)surface environments, focusing on the formation and decay of organic matter, electron release, eutrophication, hypoxia, water stratification, redox zonation, and the fate of phosphorus in sediments. It discusses the processes governing the composition of aquatic systems and the sequential electron acceptors involved in organic matter decomposition.

In MOOC
Water quality and the biogeochemical engine
Learn about how the quality of water is a direct result of complex bio-geo-chemical interactions, and about how to use these processes to mitigate water quality issues.
