The Organic Geochemistry Unit, within the School of Chemistry, has received over 20 research grants from a range of funding bodies, including NERC, The Royal Society, The Wellcome Trust, English Heritage and several commercial organisations.

The research group currently includes 4 PDRAs, 12 PhD students and 3 technicians. Major research fields include: the molecular fate and cycling of organic matter in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, bacterial and invertebrate ecology using molecular and stable isotope tracer techniques, molecular indicators of sewage pollution, biomolecular archaeology and palaeontology and palaeoclimate reconstruction through molecular and isotopic measurements of organic matter in sedimentary archives.

More information about the OGU can be found on the group webpage.
