Biogeochemistry II (5 op / 2.5 ov) |
| Abbreviation: BGK2 |
| Learning outcomes: To demonstrate some of the key methods to study greenhouse gas fluxes and biogeochemical processes
behind them |
| Content: The course gives practical knowledge how to measure dynamics of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide,
methane, nitrous oxide) of ecosystems, and how land-use can change the gas dynamics in terrestrial
ecosystems. The course demonstrates gas dynamics of forest, peatland and agricultural ecosystems, and
use of stable isotopes in biogeochemical studies. |
| Learning Material: Material delivered in the course, background literature (articles, books, see Biogeochemistry I). |
| Degree / Programme: EBB |
| Point in time: Every second spring, next time in spring 2011 |
| Teaching / Learning methods: Lectures 3 h, Group Work 35 h, Independent Study 15 h. Details: Seminars 8 h
Work reporting 20 h |
