05-MAR-2-C9 Biogeochemical Processes: Projects

Representatives: Marcus Elvert, Matthias Zabel

Content

Based on theoretical foundations given in module “Biogeochemistry I”, we focus on practical applications in our lab facillities. After a one-day field exercise for biogeochemical sampling of marine sediments, each student will work on small, interdisciplinary projects, which will be designed according to recent, typical research questions in the fields of marine organic and inorganic geochemistry and biogeochemistry. Additionally, specific topics from the previous module are expanded by special lectures and exercises. For example, principles of geochemical modeling are trained and applied.

Learning Outcome

After successful participation students will be familiar with fundamental lab methods in organic and inorganic geochemistry, which are essential for geochemical work in marine sciences. Students will be able to objective-oriented and problem-based work independently as well as in a team. They will be able to describe open questions in our research field and provide conceptions of the ocean as a geochemical system.

Requirements

Contents of topics and research themes provided in "Biogeochemistry I" (05M-MAR-1-C3-1).
