KJ8070 - Advanced Aquatic Chemistry
Course content
The course provides a comprehensive treatment of homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical equilibria in natural aquatic systems (acid/base reactions, precipitation/dissolution reactions, complex formation, redox reactions, weathering, solid-solution interface reactions and atmosphere-water interactions).
Learning outcome
The course aims to provide the students with an in-depth theoretical understanding of the chemical processes that govern the chemical composition of natural waters.
Learning methods and activities
Three hours of lectures per day for three weeks (intensive teaching). The language is normally Norwegian, but the course may also be given in English.
Compulsory assignments
Recommended previous knowledge
The course builds on knowledge corresponding to parts of KJ2070 or KJ2071.
The course is primarily aimed at students in environmental chemistry and geochemistry working on problems related to water, soil and sediments, but also other students e.g. in limnology, may find the course useful.
