The Petroleum Organic Geochemistry Group at Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution focuses on using a variety of carbon containing
compounds to understand processes which have affected petroleum
basins and sediment-covered hydrothermal vent areas. A particular
focus of the group is gas. Gas formation and migration processes
strongly affect subsurface fluid flow which ultimately determines
where and how much gas is available to drive geological processes
and as an energy resource.
