Sedimentary organic matter can become preserved and modified in the Earths subsurface. This material contains unique assemblages of hydrocarbons with enough geochemical information to be linked to once living organisms and thus facilitates paleoecological and geochemical reconstructions of past depositional environments. Unfortunately, much of this information is never realized due to the complex matrix with which it is embedded. This research program will formulate new methods to track these and yet discovered biological markers to better understand past biotic systems, organic matter preservation pathways, the role of the deep biosphere, and factors leading to the formation of active petroleum systems.

沉积有机质可以在地球地下得到保存和改变。这种材料包含独特的碳氢化合物组合，具有足够的地球化学信息，可与曾经存在的生物体联系起来，从而促进过去沉积环境的古生态和地球化学重建。不幸的是，由于嵌入的复杂矩阵，大部分信息从未被实现。该研究计划将制定新方法来追踪这些尚未发现的生物标记，以更好地了解过去的生物系统、有机物保存途径、深层生物圈的作用以及导致活跃石油系统形成的因素。
