05-MMG-BG2 Biogeochemical Processes: Projects

Representative Marcus Elvert

Learning Contents:

Based on theoretical foundations in the module “Biogeochemical Processes: Concepts”, we focus on practical applications in the field followed by intense laboratory work. We will provide a short field exercise and showcase sampling of marine sediments for pore water constituents and solid phase analysis of minerals and lipid biomarkers. Groups of students will work on interdisciplinary projects, designed according to recent research questions/techniques in the fields of marine (in)organic biogeochemistry. Specific topics from the concept module will be discussed in small groups, for example, principles of geochemical fluid fluxes, lipid biomarker analysis or handling of complex data sets.

Learning Outcomes, Targeted Competencies:

Students will be
1) familiar with laboratory methods and techniques essential for scientific (in)organic biogeochemical work.
2) able to provide conceptions of the ocean as a biogeochemical system.
3) in a position to tackle research questions in marine biogeochemistry.
4) provided with skills to work in a team.
