| Abstract | In this course we present and discuss advanced topics in geochemistry based on the critical reading of research papers. Themes include hydrothermal geochemistry, isotopes in meterorites, low temperature geochemistry and biogeochemistry. | ||||
| Learning objective | The goal of the course is discuss topics in advanced geochemistry which were not covered in other general and specialized geochemistry courses. In addition, we aim at training the student's ability to critically evaluate research papers and to summarize the findings concisely in an oral presentation. | ||||
| Content | Themes will vary from year to year and suggestions from students are welcome. Some possible topics are: Organic geochemistry. Isotope geochemistry of organic matter: carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen. Multiply-substituted isotopologues. Mass-independent fractionations. Mass transfer and isotopes in modern and ancient ocean-floor hydrothermal systems and subduction zone environments. Noble gas geochemistry: terrestrial and extraterrestrial applications | ||||
| Lecture notes | None | ||||
| Literature | Will be identified based on the chosen topic. | ||||
