| Kurzbeschreibung | Dieser Kurs behandelt chemische und biogeochemische Prozesse in Böden und Gewässern sowie deren Einfluss auf das Verhalten und Kreisläufe von Nähr- und Schadstoffen in terrestrischen und aquatischen Systemen. Konzeptionelle Ansätze zur quantitativen Beschreibung der Prozesse werden eingeführt und in ausgewählten Beispielen angewendet. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | 1. Verständnis wichtiger chemischer Eigenschaften und Prozesse in Böden und Gewässern und wie diese das Verhalten von Nährstoffen und Schadstoffen (z.B. chemische Bindungsform, Bioverfügbarkeit und Mobilität) beeinflussen. 2. Quantitative Anwendung chemischer Gleichgewichte auf Prozessen in natürlichen Systemen. In dem Fach "Boden- und Wasserchemie" werden die Kompetenzen Prozessverständnis, Systemverständnis und Modellierung gelehrt, angewandt und geprüft. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Kurzbeschreibung | This class is the 2nd part of a series and participation is conditional on the successful completion of "Term Paper 1: Writing". The results from the term paper written during the previous term are presented to the other students and advisors and discussed with the audience. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | The goal of the term paper seminars is to train the student's ability to communicate (scientific) results to a wider audience and the ability to respond to questions and comments. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | Each student presents the results of their term paper to fellow students and advisors and responds to questions and comments from the audience. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Skript | Guidelines and supplementary material are distributed on the Moodle platform. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | There is no final exam. Grade is assigned based on the quality of the presentation and ensuing discussion. To obtain the credits, it is mandatory to attend at least 60% of all seminar dates offered in the fall and spring semester. Active participation in discussion and feedback rounds is expected. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 701-1303-00L | Term Paper 1: Writing | 5 KP | 11A | L. Winkel, M. Ackermann, N. Casacuberta Arola, K. Deiner, N. Gruber, R. Kipfer, R. Kretzschmar, K. McNeill, D. Mitrano, M. Müller, M. Sander, M. Schölmerich, M. H. Schroth, C. Schubert | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | The ability to critically evaluate original (scientific) literature and to summarise the information in a succinct manner is an important skill for any student. This course aims to practice this ability, requiring each student to write a term paper of scientific quality on a topic of relevance for research in the areas of biogeochemistry and pollutant dynamics. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | The goal of the term paper is to train the student's ability to critically evaluate scientific literature and to summarise the findings concisely in a paper addressing a research question. At the end of the course, students will be able to: - narrow down a research question. - identify relevant literature to address the research question. - concisely summarise and critically evaluate their findings. - formulate key outstanding questions. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | Each student is expected to write a paper with a length of approximately 15-20 pages. The students can choose from a list of topics prepared by the tutors, but the final topic will be determined based on a balance of choice and availability. The students will be guided and advised by their tutors throughout the term. The paper itself should contain the following elements: - Motivation and context of the given topic (25%) - Concise presentation and critical evaluation of the state of the science (50%) - Identification of open questions and perhaps opportunities for further research (25%) In addition, the accurate use of citations, attribution of ideas, and the judicious use of figures, tables, equations and references are critical components of a successful paper. Specialised knowledge is not expected, nor required; neither is new research. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Skript | Guidelines and supplementary material are distributed on the Moodle platform. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Literatur | Original scientific literature will be identified based on the chosen topic. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Please enrol latest until the first week of the semester. Contact termpaper(at)env.ethz.ch if you don't yet have access to MyStudies. The term paper course is primarily aimed at master students majoring in biogeochemistry & pollutant dynamics and ISTP students with a solid background in natural sciences and a strong interest in biogeochemistry & pollutant dynamics. Each student submits a term paper that will be reviewed by one fellow student and one faculty. The submission of the term paper and a written review of another student's term paper are a condition for obtaining the credit points. There is no final exam. The grade is assigned based on the quality of the term paper and the submitted review as well as on the presentation in the following term. Results from the term paper will be presented to fellow students and involved faculty in the following semester ("Term Paper 2: Seminar"). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 701-1315-00L | Biogeochemistry of Trace Elements | 3 KP | 2G | A. Voegelin, D. Janssen, L. Winkel | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | The course addresses the biogeochemical classification and behavior of trace elements, including key processes driving the cycling of important trace elements in aquatic and terrestrial environments and the coupling of abiotic and biotic transformation processes of trace elements. Examples of the role of trace elements in natural or engineered systems will be presented and discussed in the course. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | The students are familiar with the chemical characteristics, the environmental behavior and fate, and the biogeochemical reactivity of different groups of trace elements. They are able to apply their knowledge on the interaction of trace elements with geosphere components and on abiotic and biotic transformation processes of trace elements to discuss and evaluate the behavior and impact of trace elements in aquatic and terrestrial systems. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | (i) Definition, importance and biogeochemical classification of trace elements. (ii) Key biogeochemical processes controlling the cycling of different trace elements (base metals, redox-sensitive and chalcophile elements, volatile trace elements) in natural and engineered environments. (iii) Abiotic and biotic processes that determine the environmental fate and impact of selected trace elements. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Skript | Selected handouts (lecture notes, literature, exercises) will be distributed during the course. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Students are expected to be familiar with the basic concepts of aquatic and soil chemistry covered in the respective classes at the bachelor level (soil mineralogy, soil organic matter, acid-base and redox reactions, complexation and sorption reactions, precipitation/dissolution reactions, thermodynamics, kinetics, carbonate buffer system). The lecture 701-1315-00L Biogeochemistry of Trace Elements is a prerequisite for attending the laboratory course 701-1331-00L Trace Elements Laboratory, or students must be concurrently enrolled in 701-1315-00L Biogeochemistry of Trace Elements in the same semester. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
