Kurzbeschreibung	Einführung in die Geochemie und ihrer Anwendungen für das Studium des Urspungs und der Entwicklung von Erde und Planeten
Lernziel	Gewinnen eines Überblicks geochemischer Methoden in verschiedenen Gebieten der Erdwissenschaften, und wie diese Methoden benutzt werden, um geologische Prozesse in Erdmantel, Erdkruste, Ozeanen und Atmosphäre zu studieren.
Inhalt	Dieser Kurs ist eine Einleitung zur Geochemie mit einem speziellen Fokus auf den Grundkonzepten, die in diesem sich schnell entwickelnden Fachgebiet verwendet werden. Der Kurs beschäftigt sich mit der Toolbox des Geochemikers: Die grundlegenden chemischen und atomaren Eigenschaften der Elemente aus der Periodentabelle sowie deren Verwendung zur Formulierung wichtiger Fragen in den Erdwissenschaften. Es werden wichtige Konzepte, welche im Fest-Lösungs-Gas Gleichgewicht verwendet werden, eingeführt. Die Konzepte von chemischen Reservoiren und der geochemischen Kreisläufe werden anhand des Kohlenstoff-Kreislaufs eingeführt. Des weitern beschäftigt sich der Kurs mit geologischen Anwendungen in den Bereichen von Niedrig- und Hochtemperaturgeochemie. Dazu gehört die Bildung von Kontinenten, die Differentiation der Erde, sowie die Geochemie von Ozeanwasser und kontinentalen Wässern.
Skript	Die Folien zur Vorlesung werden online zur Verfügung gestellt.

651-3507-00L	Einführung in die Ozeanographie und Hydrogeologie	3 KP	2V	D. Vance, M. O. Saar
Kurzbeschreibung	This course is designed to provide an introduction to hydrogeology and oceanography for all Earth Science students at ETH. It provides an overview of the physical controls on water flow in streams, aquifers, and the oceans. It also deals with the basics of groundwater chemistry, biogeochemical cycling in the oceans, the role of the oceans as carbon reservoirs and their dynamic redox state.
Lernziel	To understand and describe the basic principles of the hydrologic cycle and water flow in streams and aquifers. To conduct simple calculations of water transfer in streams and aquifers as well as of flood frequencies and magnitudes. To discuss surface and groundwater as a water resource. To interpret different ion distributions in aquifers in terms of bacic water chemistry, fluid-mineral reactions, water contamination, and water origin. To understand the major features of ocean basins and the tectonic controls on their structure. To identify the major controls on the temperature, salinity and density structure of the oceans. To describe how these controls interact to drive surface and interior ocean circulation. To interpret different kinds of element distribution in the oceans in terms of basic chemistry, sinks, sources and internal biogeochemical cycling. To discuss the cycles of carbon and oxygen in the ocean, with a view to the critical analysis of how the oceans respond to, cause and record the dynamics of these cycles in Earth history.
Inhalt	This course provides an introduction to oceanography and hydrogeology, with a special focus on the basic physicochemical concepts that control the properties and behaviour of two major reservoirs of water on Earth. The hydrogeology component will: 1) describe the hydrologic cycle, with a focus on the importance of groundwater to society; introduce the basic physical aspects of groundwater flow, including Darcy's law, hydraulic head, hydraulic conductivity, aquifers; 2) describe the basics of groundwater chemistry, including major ions and mean meteoric water line, basics of groundwater contamination; 3) introduce the interface with the oceans, including hydrothermal circulation at mid-ocean ridges, ocean-water intrusion into groundwater at coasts. The oceanography component will: 1) provide an overview of the physical circulation of the oceans, including its importance for heat transfer around the surface of the Earth and for climate; 2) describe the basic processes that control the chemistry of the oceans, including its temporal and spatial variability; 3) introduce some simple concepts in biological oceanography, including the dependence of ocean ecology on nutrient distributions. There will be a specific focus on how the physics, chemistry and biology of the ocean might have changed through Earth history, and the impact of oceanic processes on Earth's climate.

Kurzbeschreibung	The surface Earth is often thought of as a set of interacting systems, often with feedbacks between them. These interacting systems control the tectonics, geomorphology, climate, and biology of the surface Earth. To fully understand the nature of the Earth System, including the controls on its past evolution, its present state, and its future, an integrated perspective is required.
Lernziel	To introduce students to an integrated view of the surface Earth, uniting perspectives from different disciplines of the earth sciences. To encourage students in the critical analysis of data and models in Earth Science.
Inhalt	Planet Earth has had a complex history since its formation ~4.6 billion years ago. The surface Earth is often thought of as a set of interacting systems, often with positive and negative feedbacks between them. These interacting systems control the tectonics, geomorphology, climate, and biology of the surface Earth. To fully understand the nature of the Earth System, including the controls on its past evolution, its present state, and its future, an integrated perspective is required. This is a subject that pulls in observations and models from many areas of the Earth Sciences, including geochemistry, geophysics, geology and biology. The main goal of the course is to convey this integrated view of the surface of our planet. We will achieve this integrated view through a series of lectures, exercises, and tutorials. We take as our framework some of the key events in Earth history, encouraging understanding of the controlling processes through integrated observations, ideas and models from disciplines across science.
