Abstract:
This talk will showcase the use of geochemical fingerprinting techniques to characterize petroleum for both energy production and environmental applications. By analyzing the unique molecular signatures of petroleum, we can trace its source, monitor its behavior in the environment, and assess its impact on ecosystems. These methods are critical for addressing challenges in spill response, pollution monitoring, and petroleum exploration.
