05-MMG-BG1 Biogeochemical Processes: Concepts

Representative Marcus Elvert

Learning Contents:

The module “Biogeochemical Processes: Concepts” will introduce the wide range of element cycles, their underlying reactions and driving forces in different marine environments, ranging in space from the sea surface to the deep biosphere. Starting with fundamentals in this interdisciplinary field of research, specific courses will guide the students through topics ranging from (in)organic geochemistry to (isotope) biogeochemistry and marine microbiology. The physical and chemical behaviour of light stable isotopes under natural environmental conditions, fractionation processes, microbially catalysed biogeochemical processes and respective research methods combined with recent applications will be provided.

Learning Outcomes, Targeted Competencies:

The students will
1) have the knowledge to interpret the functional relationships between microbially driven processes and elemental/molecular signatures.
2) understand the physical and chemical behavior of light stable isotopes under natural environmental conditions.
3) have an understanding of the physiology of important microbes in the marine environment and biogeochemical processes they are involved in.
4) be able to utilize lipid biomolecules as sources of information for the study of biogeochemical processes.

Prior Knowledge:

Basic knowlegde of organic compound classes, life domains, cell composition and structures, diagenetic reactions
