Geochemistry, 7.5 ECTS
First levelFacts
Swedish Upper Secondary School courses Physics B/Physics 2, Chemistry B/Chemistry 2 and Mathematics D/Mathematics 4 or equivalent. Or Tellus I - Geology, 15 ECTS credits (GG2008) and Tellus II - Geology, 12,5 ECTS credits(GG4039).
Description
The course is an introduction to geochemistry where chemistry is used to understand and explain geological processes. It can be seen as ‘chemistry for geologists’. The course covers chemical fundamentals, basic concepts of thermodynamics, acid-base equilibrium, redox processes, and introduction to isotopic geochemistry. The focus will be on Earth-Surface low-temperature processes. Re-exams may be held on campus.
Area of interests: Science and Mathematics
Science and mathematics help us understand how the world around us is connected – from the origin and structure of the universe, to the development and function of humanity and all other organisms on earth. Scientific knowledge makes it possible to critically examine the credibility of information in different areas of everyday life, society, and the media. As a scientist or mathematician, you will be attractive on a large job market that covers all parts of society and includes everything from pure technology companies to environment and healthcare, as well as research.
