Session 20: Early Diagenesis II and Sediment Distributions

Name: Session 20: Early Diagenesis II and Sediment Distributions
Uploaded: 2026-03-23T13:30:05Z
Duration: 1 h 20 min 51 s
Description: The lecture examines the two most abundant biogenic components of marine sediments— biogenic opal (silica) and calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) —and explains how they dissolve, preserve, and interact within ocean sediments. Both play major roles in paleoceanography, sediment diagenesis, and global biogeochemical cycles.
