| Undervisnings- form: |
lectures, discussions, exercises, tests |
| Formål: |
• To build a fundamental understanding of the chemical processes that occur in nature, on the Earth´s surface and during the formation of the universe, so as to gain a clearer understanding of the role that geochemistry plays in the geologic record and in our every day lives.
• To improve skills in problem solving, to build confidence in quantitative expression, making appropriate assumptions and testing them, and to develop an ability to interpret geochemical diagrams by learning to draw them oneself.
|
| Indhold: |
Introduction to theoretical and practical use of geochemical concepts; elements and their distribution on Earth; basic chemical processes of interest in all geologic systems (volcanic, metamorphic, sedimentary and environmental); solid/fluid equilibria; relationships between composition, temperature, pressure and pH. |
| Kompetence- beskrivelse: |
to build a general theoretical base in chemical principals with examples chosen from natural systems, to buld general knowledge and to serve as a base for future courses in the geosciences and for advanced studies in any of the subfields of geochemistry.
to gain experience using known relationships to describe the chemical processes that occur in nature, both past and present, so as to gain a clearer understanding of the role geochemistry plays in the geologic record, the environment and in our everyday lives.
to develop the basic skills of calculation, problem solving, critical thinking, interpretation of results and construction of several types of diagrams that represent geochemical reactions, building from simple (aqueous solutions where only concentrations vary) to more complex systems (variable concentration, P and T).
to develop confidence in quantitative concepts and an ability to determine, on one's own, probable outcomes.
