Mandatory attendance at preparatory meeting, excursion days, laboratory work, and final seminar.The course will be taught in English. The course will be in parts conducted together with the courses '300048 PP Schwermetallstress: Ökologie von Organismen' and '300472 EX Exkursion Schwermetall-Standorte'. Excursions will be combined with laboratory work on heavy-metal-contaminated soil samples.
Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Students recognize effects and properties of biogeochemical processes in complex field systems. They can interpret field observations based on laboratory work and experiments and on geochemical and biogeochemical knowledge. From this, they develop a process understanding of the field system.
