Welcome to the Organic Geochemistry Unit
The Organic Geochemistry Unit (OGU) is based in the School of Chemistry of the University of Bristol.
The research we conduct aims to develop our understanding of the biogeochemistry of modern-day and ancient environments and the way that it is affected by natural processes and the actions of mankind. This is achieved principally through the application of cutting-edge analytical chemistry and instrumental techniques.
The OGU currently comprises 5 academic staff, around 30 postgraduate students/postdoctoral researchers and 8 final-year undergraduate project students making it one of the biggest research groups based in The School of Chemistry.
The group laboratories also hosts the NERC Life Sciences Mass Spectrometry Facility (Bristol node).
The OGU is one of the groups comprising the Bristol Biogeochemistry Research Centre.
The 2009 meeting of the British Organic Geochemistry Society (BOGS 2009) shall be hosted by the OGU!!!
