| Kurzbeschreibung | This course builds on Aquatic Ecology I and cannot be taken separately. It aims on extending the covered concepts and apply them to natural and experimental systems. The course contains research projects, a 1-day excursion to a lake as well as a 3-day excursion to a river. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | During the research project you will learn the principles of doing research to observe interrelations in aquatic ecosystems. You will measure and interpret biological and physical data (e.g. during experiments, field work). You will present the collected knowledge and write a report about it. During the excursions you will get to know a lake system as well as a river system. The main goal of the excursions is that the students as a team conduct their own field research project and collect data in the field. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | The field excursions contain a 1-day excursion to a lake (Greifensee) and a 3-day excursion to a river (Glatt, Niederuzwil). The experimental part contains research projects in small groups within research groups at Eawag. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Skript | Course notes and power point presentations provided during the course. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
