You will carry out data analysis with equilibrium models and applications in environmental geochemistry and learn programming of simple box models to study geochemical cycles, river runoff, and vegetation distribution. You gain basic programming skills for simple reaction-transport models for simulating water flows (groundwater, lakes, rivers) and diagenetic processes. The course is structured as lectures and a series of practical exercises. Results are discussed orally in seminars and reported with a detailed written report.







The schedule will be available no later than one month before the start of the course. We do not recommend print-outs as changes can occur. At the start of the course, your department will advise where you can find your schedule during the course.


Note that the course literature can be changed up to two months before the start of the course.

Literature material will be handed out during the course.

Course reports are displayed for the three most recent course instances.

Course evaluations allow the possibility to affect and take responsibility for your own learning and gives important information for our work with pedagogical development.

It's important that all students complete the course evaluations after each course, it gives the Department the opportunity to improve the courses' quality.

The course evaluation is composed of a number of questions and specific questions for each course. If you, as a student, want to contribute with more course specific questions you may send them to studies@geo.su.se.

If you haven't received the course evaluation for your finished course, or if you have other questions regarding course evaluations at IGV please contact studies@geo.su.se.

Course evaluation = student's review of the course
Course report = course leader's reflections about the review
