Organic geochemistry of petroleum, coal and kerogen is focused on qualitative and quantitative biomarker analysis. Furthermore, organic geochemistry is used to determine component specific carbon isotopes of certain biomarkers as well as the organic-geochemical characterization of macromolecules by pyrolysis and infrared spectroscopy.
