| AIM OF THE COURSE |
| The students will obtain an interdisciplinary understanding for processes that influence the chemical composition of natural waters. This includes the joint action of physical, chemical and biological processes in catchments, watercourses, pools and lakes. |
| CONTENTS |
| The course will start with a one-week introduction giving insights in relevant parts of analytical chemistry and microbiology, followed by lectures with contents in hydrology, organic and inorganic chemistry and microbiology. The interaction between these processes and phenomenon, concerning eg. weathering of minerals and degradation of organic matter, will be the unifying concepts. A large part of the course (five of the ten course points) will be based on practical, laboratory work. This course part will be based on analysis of natural waters, exemplifying process etc discussed in the lecturers and accounted for in written reports. The course also contains a laboratory-based assignment that will result in an oral presentation and a written report from each student group. |
| TEACHING |
| The teaching will be performed as lectures, practical (lab) work, computer exercises, seminars and a project assignment. |
| EXAMINATION |
Practical work: Laboratory reports and oral presentation theory. Assigned project, a written report and an oral presentation.
