• Environmental modelling
For the evaluation of the presentation the scores will be awarded according to
- the respect of instructions (time, structure of the presentation, etc.)
- understanding of the topic and answering student questions
- quality of presentation
For the oral exam the quality of the answer and its relevance will be taken into account.
The student will gain insight in proxies of chemical, biological and geochemical processes occurring in natural systems (mainly on aquatic systems). The students should also learn the biogeochemical cycle of metals and the influencing parameters in various environmental systems. The students will acquire the analytical techniques for metal speciation in environment.
