About the course

The course examines geochemical factors that affect our earth and environment, particularly the interaction of different elements between the air, water and sediments. Special focus is given to questions that concern natural resources, both with respect to raw materials and energy, and factors related to human influences on our environment, e.g. the greenhouse effect and anthropogenic pollution, and how they can be counteracted. Natural risks, such as volcanic activity and earthquakes. Written and oral communication.
