Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Participants will have a good understanding of the relationship between landscape features (eg. hillslopes, wetlands, streams and lakes) and biogeochemical processes within a pre-alpine river/lake valley (Lunz am See). The course involves a combination of lecture, field and laboratory work. Participants will gain an appreciation for catchment processes via the investigation of how biogeochemical characteristics of stream/lake/groundwater changes in terms of quantity and quantity over space and time. The potential impact of natural and anthropogenic change to ecosystem processes and ecosystem services will be discussed considering: catchment/stream hydrology, groundwater/ surface water / hyporheic zone biogeochemistry.

### NOTE ###
The course content and final assessment will be in English language
Participants are required to cover the cost of accommodation (1-night) in, and transport to, Lunz am See (expected ~100-150 EUR) themselves
*Final cost is dependent on number of participants after closure of registration period.
