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 45 points): 3 exams are held electronically during the semester, each of which is worth 15 points. The exam dates are
1st exam: April 28th;
2nd exam: June 2nd;
3rd exam June 14th;
Further details will be announced via Moodle.Student group lectures (15%) on a topic of Geomicrobiology will have to be presented on April 26thConsulting exercise:
Presentation (15 points): Students will work in groups to prepare and to hold a presentation on a consulting excercise. Attendance is mandatory for all participants. Presentations will involve addressing a geochemical based problem. Topics and more details will be available on moodle. The presentation date will be May 24th.Report (25 points): Students will work in groups to prepare a report that will consist of a consultant style offer to solve a geochemical based problem. Topics and more details will be available on moodle. The deadline for the reports will be June 23rd.
