651-3597-00LBachelor-Seminar I2 KP2GH. Stoll, H. Busemann, J. D. Rickli
KurzbeschreibungIn diesem Seminar lernen die Studierenden wichtige Forschungskompetenzen, wie das effiziente Suchen wissenschaftlicher Literatur und das Präsentieren naturwissenschaftlicher Forschung in mündlicher und schriftlicher Form.
LernzielDie Studierenden erlernen die Grundlagen des mündlichen wissenschaftlichen Präsentierens. Sie lernen den Aufbau wissenschaftlicher Publikationen kennen und lernen Literatur effizient zu beschaffen und deren Inhalt zu verstehen und zu bewerten. Des Weiteren werden Grundlagen des wissenschaftlichen Schreibens vorgestellt und geübt.
651-4227-00LPlanetary Sciences: a Chemical Perspective3 KP2GM. Schönbächler, H. Busemann, M. Ek
KurzbeschreibungFormation and evolution of the solar system and its planets from a geochemical perspective
LernzielTo understand the formation and evolution of the solar system and its planets from a geochemical perspective
InhaltThe Sun and solid objects in the solar system (planets, comets, asteroids, meteorites, interplanetary dust) are discussed from a geochemical perspective. What does their present-day composition tell us about the origin, formation and evolution of the solar system? The lectures introduce the basics of the terrestrial and giant planets, comets and asteroids, gained from modern space missions and the study of extraterrestrial materials. The chemical and isotopic composition of meteorites, being the most primitive material available for study, is a further major topic.

651-4229-00LAdvanced Geochronology3 KP2GM. Guillong, H. Busemann, M. G. Fellin, D. Szymanowski
KurzbeschreibungThis lecture gives an overview of methods and applications of geochronology across a wide range of Earth Science disciplines. Several in their field specialized lecturers cover the principles and methods and will give insight into recent applications and research projects.
LernzielThe purpose of this lecture is to provide a comprehensive overview of: a) the different radiometric methods in Geology, the different dating tasks and the constraints put by the complexity of natural systems, including dating by cosmogenic nuclides,
b) the various analytical tools available today for radiometric dating, their advantages and disadvantages,
c) the use of noble gases in Geochemistry and
d) detailed description of case studies, as examples of approach of a number of geological problems and interpretation of the data.

At the end students know the different isotope systems, methods and their application. Understand literature and critical reading and interpretation of published data is possible. For simple geochronological questions they can describe a scientific approach and possible solution. They can plot and interprete data using IsoplotR for different applications.

KurzbeschreibungThis course aims to provide an understanding of the formation, evolution, composition, structure and dynamics of planetary bodies in our solar system and beyond, including new developments in the field and links to past, current and future space missions.
LernzielThe goal of this course is to enable students to understand current knowledge and uncertainties regarding the formation, evolution, composition, structure and dynamics of planets, moons, asteroids and comets in our solar system, as well as ongoing discoveries from space missions and planets around other stars.
InhaltThe main topics covered are: Orbital Dynamics and Tides, Solar Heating and Energy Transport, Chronology and Compositions (bulk and isotopic), Geochemical Concepts, Planetary Atmospheres, Planetary Surfaces, Planetary Interiors, Asteroids and Meteorites, Comets, Planetary Rings, Magnetic Fields and Magnetospheres, the Sun and Stars, Planet Formation, Exoplanets and Exobiology.
The lectures introduce the basics of the terrestrial and giant planets, comets, and asteroids, gained from modern space missions and the study of extraterrestrial material from both the physical and geochemical perspectives.
Students will practice making quantitative calculations relevant to various aspects of these topics through homework.
