Geochemistry Laboratory (Organic & Inorganic).

Our laboratory research is centered on organic and inorganic geochemistry, with a particular focus on applying advanced geochemical techniques to better understand geological and environmental processes. By working with both rock and sediment samples, we explore the geochemical signatures that reveal the origin, transformation, and preservation of organic matter across diverse depositional environments.

In the lab, we carry out detailed sample preparation including crushing, acid treatment, and solvent extraction followed by advanced instrumental analyses such as elemental analysis, gas chromatography (GC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS). These techniques allow for precise measurements of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur isotopes, which serve as essential tracers in geoscience research.

A key focus of our work is the evaluation of hydrocarbon source potential and paleoenvironmental reconstruction. By integrating biomarker analysis with isotopic data, we aim to establish links between geochemical records and past climatic or depositional conditions. Such insights not only enhance our understanding of petroleum systems and carbon cycling but also highlight the broader role of geochemistry in sustainable resource management.

Through this research, we are continuously building expertise in geochemical data analysis and interpretation, with the long-term goal of applying these approaches to resource exploration, environmental monitoring, and advancing energy sustainability.
