Schwarzenbach et. al Environmental Organic Chemistry Very good review of processes, systems, compartments, media and some basic governing equations. I skipped the math bits (mostly) because they are annoying to read but did try and do a verbal walk through of the equations' salient uses. A good review of modeling was also included in the next chapter, but we'll skip that (math/graph heavy) and focus on partitioning and transport for the next episode. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/osuz504-tech/support

This week, we are looking at the mechanisms for bacterial metabolisms, the rise of an oxygen atmosphere, and the importance of photosynthesis in developing an understanding of life. I get all excited about a ‘second generation' of alien life on earth and present a good reason why there was a couple billion years difference between cyanobacteria arising on earth and the actual development of a high oxygen atmosphere. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/osuz504-tech/support
