Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Did you know that around 45% of atmospherical oxigen is produced by algae? This exercise offers insights into the fascinating world of algae, a group which is significantly involved in global flow patterns. Major algae groups will be discussed and important representatives will be introduced. We will sample from various habitats, use light and also scanning electron micropes for studying specimens. Additionally, measurements of some environmental variables, microfotography, use of appropriate computer programs will be taught. Language will be either German or English according to requirements.
