651-4004-00L | The Global Carbon Cycle - Reduced | W | 3 KP | 2G | T. I. Eglinton, M. Lupker | |
Kurzbeschreibung | The carbon cycle connects different reservoirs of C, including life on Earth, atmospheric CO2, and economically important geological reserves of C. Much of this C is in reduced (organic) form, and is composed of complex chemical structures that reflect diverse biological activity, processes and transformations. | |||||
Lernziel | A wealth of information is held within the complex organic molecules, both in the context of the contemporary carbon cycle and its links to is other biogeochemical cycles, as well as in relation to Earth's history, the evolution of life and climate on this planet. In this course we will learn about the role of reduced forms of carbon in the global cycle, how these forms of carbon are produced, move around the planet, and become sequestered in the geological record, and how they can be used to infer biological activity and conditions on this planet in the geologic past. The course encompasses a range of spatial and temporal scales, from molecular to global, and from the contemporary environment to earliest life. | |||||

Kurzbeschreibung | Clouds are a fascinating atmospheric phenomenon central to the hydrological cycle and the Earth`s climate. Interactions between cloud particles can result in precipitation, glaciation or evaporation of the cloud depending on its microstructure and microphysical processes. | |||||
Lernziel | The learning objective of this course is that students understand the formation of clouds and precipitation and can apply learned principles to interpret atmospheric observations of clouds and precipitation. | |||||
Inhalt | see: http://www.iac.ethz.ch/edu/courses/master/modules/cloud-microphysics.html | |||||
Skript | This course will be designed as a reading course in a small group of 8 students maximum. It will be based on the textbook below. The students are expected to read chapters of this textbook prior to the class so that open issues, fascinating and/or difficult aspects can be discussed in depth. | |||||

701-1280-00L | Self-learning Course on Advanced Topics in Atmospheric and Climate Science Please contact one of the professors listed under prerequisites/notice if you plan to take this course. Students are allowed to enroll in both courses 701-1280-00L & 701-1281-00L Self-learning Course on Advanced Topics in Atmospheric and Climate Science but have to choose different supervisors. | W | 3 KP | 6A | Betreuer/innen | |
Kurzbeschreibung | This course offers an individual pathway to deepen knowledge and understanding of a specific advanced topic in atmospheric and climate science in one of these fields: - atmospheric chemistry - atmospheric circulation and predictability - atmospheric dynamics - atmospheric physics - climate modeling - climate physics - land-climate dynamics | |||||
Lernziel | The learning goals of this course are threefold: 1) obtain novel insight into an advanced scientific topic, 2) train the self-study competences in particular related to reading of advanced textbooks and writing a concise summary, and 3) gain experience in the scientific interaction with experts. The format of the course is complementary to other types of teaching (lectures and seminars) and addresses skills that are essential for a wide range of professional activities (including a PhD). | |||||
Inhalt | The course has the following elements: Week 1: Selection of specific topic and decision about reading material (textbook chapters and maybe 1-2 review papers) Week 2: General discussion about self-study skills (how to read scientific literature and write summaries; specifics of scientific writing; how to prepare efficient meetings). For the scientific writing, students are encouraged to participate in an online training course offered by Stanford University: https://lagunita.stanford.edu/courses/Medicine/SciWrite-SP/SelfPaced/about Weeks 6 and 9: Meetings with supervisor to clarify scientific questions Week 12: Hand-in of written summary (4 pages maximum) Week 14: Supervisor provides written feedback to the summary document Week 16: Oral exam about the scientific topic | |||||
Literatur | Literature (including book chapters, scientific publications) will be provided by the responsible supervisor in coordination with the student. | |||||
