It looks at the impact of microorganisms on the aquatic and terrestrial geochemistry. It covers basics in microbiology and microbial metabolisms, lithosphere and hydrosphere as microbial habitat, microbial biomineralization and weathering, industrial and environmental application of geomicrobiology (e.g., biomining, bioremediation, water treatment), origin of life.

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.
