Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Students will have in-depth knowledge about processes and mechanisms that control the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients and pollutants in environmental systems. This will include understanding the role of microbial processes and of chemical processes in soil systems in controlling nutrient and pollutant geochemistry. Students will apply this knowledge to tackle environmental problems.
Assessment and permitted materials
A maximum number of 100 points can be awarded to students participating in exams and in a consultant style presentation and report.
Exams (total of 60 points): 4 exams are held electronically during the semester, each of which is worth 15 points. The exam dates are
