Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The students are able to apply numerical thermodynamic speciation modelling to complex environmental systems.They can interpret modelling results and develop a better process understanding of these systems.

Assessment and permitted materials

Geochemical problems need to be conceptualized and based on the concept an input file for the numerical model needs to be composed. Working Input files need to be submitted, the conceptual model needs to be explained, results need to be presented in the form of graphs, the results need to be discussed in detail.

Grading:
Input files for ‚first steps‘ and ‚growing waterfall‘ (1st day): 10 %
Input file for further problems given during the course (except final problem, deadline before in-class discussion of the solution): 40%
The final problem is more complex and requires more extensive interpretation.
Input file and answers to the problem set for final problem (deadline before in-class discussion of the solution): 50 %
In order to succesfully complete the problems, scientific literature will need to be studied.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Two problem sets need to be worked on (20 points each)
One project will be worked on (60 points)
For all problems and the project, working Input files need to be submitted, the conceptual model needs to be explained, results need to be presented in the form of graphs, the results need to be discussed in detail.

Examination topics

Conceptualizing geochemical problems, writing input files for beochemical modelling, interpreting modelling results.
