Biomineralogy: The Role of Organisms in Mineral Formation

Introduction to Biomineralogy → Case Studies in Biomineralization

This advanced graduate-level path explores the principles and processes of biomineralization, emphasizing the roles of organisms in forming minerals such as carbonates, phosphates, and iron oxides. It integrates mineralogy, crystallography, biochemistry, and geomicrobiology to provide a comprehensive understanding of biologically induced and controlled mineralization.
