  • Δ13c of Aromatic Compounds in Sediments, Oils And

E-mail address: [email protected] 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 Abstract 20 This review discusses major applications of stable carbon isotopic 21 measurements of aromatic compounds, along with some specific technical aspects 22 including purification of aromatic fractions for baseline separation. δ13C 23 measurements of organic matter (OM) in sediments and oils are routine in all 24 fields of organic geochemistry, but they are predominantly done on saturated 25 compounds. Aromatic compounds are important contributors to sedimentary 26 organic matter, and provide indication of diagenetic processes, OM source, and 27 thermal maturity. Studies have found evidence for a small 13C-enrichment during 28 diagenetic aromatisation of approximately 1 to 2 ‰, but the formation of polycyclic 29 aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from combustion and hydrothermal processes 30 seems to produce no effect. Likewise, maturation and biodegradation also produce 31 only small isotopic effects. An early application of δ13C of aromatic compounds was 32 in the classification of oil families by source. Bulk measurements have had some 33 success in differentiating marine and terrigenous oils, but were not accurate in all 34 settings.

    Featured: Simon Brassell 9/18/2020 PRE-SCRIPT In the fourth episode of BIOmarkers, the audio series that archives the oral history of organic geochemistry, we speak with Dr. Simon Brassell, Professor of Geological Sciences, ​ Biogeochemistry, and Molecular Organic Geochemistry at the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Indiana University Bloomington. In his interview, Simon discusses ​ his time at the University of Bristol, proxies, and what piques his interest today. SCRIPT Fatima Husain: Welcome to BIOmarkers, an audio series that archives the oral history of organic geochemistry. I’m your host, Fatima Husain, and I’m here today with my series co-creators and fellow organic geochemists Angel Mojarro and Juliana Drozd. Angel Mojarro: For today’s episode, we spoke with Dr. Simon Brassell. Simon Brassell: I'm Simon Brassell, I'm a professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Indiana University. When anyone asked me what I am, I would say I'm a molecular organic geochemistry and molecular bio bio geochemist, because my area of expertise started in looking at biomarkers, and I have pretty much stayed in that area all along. Juliana Drozd: We spoke with Simon briefly in between sessions at the 2019 International Meeting on Organic Geochemistry about his career pathway and insights into the field. Fatima Husain: It turns out, this isn’t too hard to do: Simon Brassell: This is about something like the 14th, 15th time I've come to IMOG and every year there are two, two. There's one meeting each year that I always try and get to and it's the IMOG and then even years, it's the Gordon research conference on organic chemistry because I learn more at those meetings about the specifics of the subject than I do at any other bigger or meetings that aren't a less focused on organic geochemistry, and it's always great to come back and see people who I've known some for 10 years, some for 20 years, some 30 years, some 40 years.

  • Organic Geochemistry
    ORGANIC GEOCHEMISTRY The International Journal for the Rapid Publication of Current Research in Organic Geochemistry and Biogeochemistry and The Official Journal of the European Association of Organic Geochemists AUTHOR INFORMATION PACK TABLE OF CONTENTS XXX . • Description p.1 • Audience p.1 • Impact Factor p.1 • Abstracting and Indexing p.2 • Editorial Board p.2 • Guide for Authors p.4 ISSN: 0146-6380 DESCRIPTION . Organic Geochemistry serves as the only dedicated medium for the publication of peer-reviewed research on all phases of geochemistry in which organic compounds play a major role. The Editors welcome contributions covering a wide spectrum of subjects in the geosciences broadly based on organic chemistry (including molecular and isotopic geochemistry), and involving geology, biogeochemistry, environmental geochemistry, chemical oceanography and hydrology. The scope of the journal includes research involving petroleum (including natural gas), coal, organic matter in the aqueous environment and recent sediments, organic-rich rocks and soils and the role of organics in the geochemical cycling of the elements. Sedimentological, paleontological and organic petrographic studies will also be considered for publication, provided that they are geochemically oriented. Papers cover the full range of research activities in organic geochemistry, and include comprehensive review articles, technical communications, discussion/reply correspondence and short technical notes. Peer-reviews organised through three Chief Editors and a staff of Associate Editors, are conducted by well known, respected scientists from academia, government and industry. The journal also publishes reviews of books, announcements of important conferences and meetings and other matters of direct interest to the organic geochemical community. AUDIENCE . Organic geochemists, geologists, petroleum geologists, oceanographers, biogeochemists, organic petrologists and environmental scientists.
