Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
The student will deliver a final presentation on a topic with environmental implications agreed with the teacher. The student will present: (a) the scientific problem, (b) the data available in the literature, with critical discussion, (c) present the details on the chosen analytic techniques and (d) the prospected actions for a better definition or solution of the problem.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
• comprehension ability and critical attitude of the student during the lectures
• understanding of technical concepts and analytical protocols
• comprehension ability of the scientific literature, presentation ability, critical attitude during the final presentation
In order to get a note, the attendance minimum will be 60 %.

Next, the course will deal with the structure of low-temperature phases including clay minerals, oxides, phosphates, and carbonates. Relationships between primary phases and secondary alteration phases will be highlighted.
A third section of the course would go into greater detail on mineralogical aspects of mine wastes, remediation of sites contaminated by mining activities and overview of the applicable analytical methods. This will be illustrated through several case-studies.
