05-BMG-GC3 Applied Geochemistry

The content of this module serves the practical and theoretical implementation of the knowledge acquired in modules 1&2. An important learning objective is to look at concrete questions in their overall context in order to a) select or apply the most promising methods for successful processing and b) take into account potentially influencing boundary parameters when interpreting measurement data. The tasks are carried out in guided small groups.

1) Conception of an own field study
2) Performance of this study in the field (sampling, first measurements)
3) Laboratory experiments, analyses in the laboratory and - if possible - model-based recording of the results
4) Presentation, discussion and documentation of the results obtained
