Please indicate any differences in expectations and outcomes for undergraduate and post-graduate students.
本课程面向研究生，通过 64 学时的理论和实践课，让学生：1）在深层次上掌握地球圈层中有机质的来源、保存、迁
移及降解（及衰减）过程；2）能够依据科学问题、确定对象有机分子，采用最有效的提取、分离、纯化方案获得对象
分子，并综合运用现代分析手段、获得对象分子的结构、组成、化学丰度和同位素丰度；3）熟练利用记录在地球圈层
中的有机分子结构、化学丰度和自然丰度同位素组成进行生物合成途径、代谢方式、环境及气候信息重建及预测有机
分子在地质条件下演化、产油和产气潜势和环境后果。
本课程教学目标对本科生和研究生选课者无任何差别。
This 48-credit-hours postgraduate level course, will be delivered via regular online and/or offline lectures and laboratory
practicum. The attendees will acquire: 1) a deeper understanding of the origin of organic matter in the geosphere, and its
preservation, migration and degradation (natural attenuation) processes and how such processes are embodied in carbon cycles
on various temporal and spatial scales; 2) ability to utilize a combination of pretreatment techniques to efficiently and reliably
isolate target molecules of interest from geological matrices, and to structurally and isotopically characterize the target
molecules effectively with a range of analytical instrumentations, and 3) ability to apply the structural and isotopic fingerprints
of geo-organic molecules to the elucidation of biosynthetic pathways, mechanisms of metabolic reactions, extraction of
environmental and climatic signals, and to predict the fate of geo-organic molecules in the context of oil and gas generation
potential and environmental consequences.
Course expectations and outcomes for both undergraduate and post-graduate students will be the same.
