05-BMG-MP3 Multidisciplinary Marine Sediment Core Project

Representative Gesine Mollenhauer

Learning Contents:

The 16-20 participants of each project course jointly investigate a scientifically attractive marine sediment core applying a wide method range (e.g. core description, core logging, echosounding, proxy methods, micropaleontology, geochemistry, sedimentology, mineralogy, environmental magnetism, chronostratigraphy). Organized in teams of 4 students, they work half-days in research labs of supporting expert scientists. Each student takes responsibility for a certain method, analyses the jointly collected data, and presents the results orally in a final exam colloquium. Subgroups of 5-6 students interpret their complementary results in a scientific poster. Presentation skills are trained during the class.

Learning Outcomes, Targeted Competencies:

Participants
1) understand and exemplarily apply the modern multidisciplinary methodology of marine sediment core research within in a practical, coordinated team project
2) perform method-specific laboratory analytics, process experimental data, and create computer graphics to visualize, compare and communicate own scientific outcomes
3) elucidate own experimental results by accessing relevant context information from scientific articles, cruise reports and personal discussions with expert advisors
4) demonstrate and systematically improve personal skills in scientific teamworking, project management, communication and presentation (poster and oral)

Prior Knowledge:

Basic competences in Powerpoint (oral presentation) and Corel Draw (scientific poster)

Course Type 1: Practical Laboratory (LP) 4.0 SWS ( 56.0 h)

Course Type 2: Lecture, Exercise (L+E) 2.0 SWS ( 28.0 h)

Tutorial(s): with 1.0 SWS ( 14 h)

Workload:

98.0 h presence time
40.0 h self-study
42.0 h exam workload

Exam Type:

combination exam

Examination:

exam elements: 3
SL: 0

50 % presentation
