| 402-0180-00L | Ethics and Scientific Integrity for Doctoral Students in Physics  | 1 KP | 2G | N. Beisert, V. Bondar, M. Christl | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | This course sensitises doctoral students to ethical issues that may occur during their doctorate. After an introduction to ethics and good scientific practice, students are familiarised with resources that can assist them with ethical decision-making. Students get the chance to apply their knowledge in a context specific to research in physics. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | Doctoral students learn how to identify, analyse and address ethical issues in their own scientific research. In addition, they will reflect on their professional role as scientific researchers. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | Part I: A self-paced e-learning course in Moodle consisting of several modules on the foundations of ethics in research: - introduction to moral theory - introduction to ethical issues that occur within scientific research (authorship, cooperation, data use and sharing as well as other aspects that are subject to scientific integrity and good scientific practice). - collecting resources: presentation of a variety of tools and resources that help identify ethical issues - setting up a strategy: example examination of a case regarding its ethical scope - making decisions: presentation of different ways of addressing ethical issues by making hard choices, solving ethical dilemmas and seeking advice. Part II: Two face-to-face workshops focus on applications and physics-specific aspects providing an interactive learning environment. Participants get to apply their knowledge, and they are encouraged to reflect on ethical problems and to critically discuss them with fellow doctoral students. The workshops consist of several modules on: - ethics introduction - dilemma discussions - case analyses - group work and discussions - role plays - sustainability aspects - dialogues with supervisor | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | For doctoral students of D-PHYS only. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 402-0620-00L | Current Topics in Accelerator Mass Spectrometry and Its Applicatons | 0 KP | 2S | M. Christl, S. Willett | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | Das Seminar richtet sich an alle Studierenden und Doktorierenden, die im Rahmen ihrer Ausbildung mit Datierungsmethoden zu tun haben, die auf den Anwendungen langlebiger natürlicher Radionuklide beruhen. Es werden die Grundlagen der Methodik, die neuesten Entwicklungen und spezielle Beispiele aus dem breiten Anwendungsspektrum diskutiert. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | Das Seminar vermittelt den Teilnehmern einen Überblick über neueste Trends und Entwicklungen der Beschleuniger Massenspektrometrie und deren Anwendungen. Die Teilnehmer setzen sich in Vorträgen und anschliessenden Diskussionen intensiv mit aktuellen Forschungsergebnissen auseinander und erlangen so ein breites Verständnis, sowohl der physikalischen Grundlagen der Beschleuniger Massenspektrometrie als auch deren Anwendungen, welches weit über den Tellerrand der eigenen Studien hinaus geht. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 651-4901-00L | Quaternary Dating Methods | 2 KP | 1G | I. Hajdas, M. Christl | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | Reconstruction of time scales is critical for all Quaternary studies in Geology and Archeology. Various methods are applied depending on the time range of interest and the archive studied. In this lecture, we focus on the last 50 ka and the methods that are most frequently used for dating Quaternary sediments and landforms in this time range. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | Students will be made familiar with the details of the six dating methods through lectures on basic principles, analysis of case studies, solving of problem sets for age calculation and visits to dating laboratories. At the end of the course, students will: 1. understand the fundamental principles of the most frequently used dating methods for Quaternary studies. 2. choose which dating method (or combination of methods) suits a certain field problem. 3. critically read and evaluate the application of dating methods in scientific publications. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | 1. Introduction: Isotopes and decay 2. Radiocarbon dating: principles and applications 3. AMS technique and its application in Quaternary geochronology 4. U-series disequilibrium dating 5. Luminescence dating 6. Introduction to incremental: varve counting, dendrochronology, and ice cores chronologies 7. Dating anthropogenic records | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Visit to radiocarbon lab, cosmogenic nuclide lab, and accelerator (AMS) facility. Required: attending the lecture, visiting laboratories, handing back solutions for problem sets, short presentations or written report Optional (individual): 1-5 days of hands-on radiocarbon dating at the 14C lab, ETH Hoenggerberg | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
