Biogeochemistry, 7.5 ECTS
Second levelFacts
Syllabus
Bachelor degree with at least 90 ECTS credits in Geology or Earth Science of which at least 30 ECTS credits courses in Geochemistry (GG5011/GG5111). English B/English 6 or equivalent.
Description
The course deals with the geological, microbiological, chemical, and physical processes that link Earth’s systems. We will study the redox chemistry of biologically active elements at the microbial scale and the evolution of microbial processes through geologic time. Models (box models and reaction-transport models), stable and radioactive isotopes are applied as tools for studying the interactions between biogeochemical cycles.
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.
