Kursöversikt

Welcome to the course GVK460 Biogeochemistry, 7.5 credits, HT23

Introduction

The course focuses on Biogeochemistry of terrestrial ecosystems, as the textbook indicates, but we will also look at global biogeochemical cycles. 

 Please read the Course guide: course guide.docx

Reading list

Textbook:

Biogeochemistry: An Analysis of Global Change

Reading instructions:

The first chapters 1,2,3 and 4 will be read by you in self-study during the first two course days. Therefore, you may already want to start reading these chapters and use the Quiz's to these chapters to support your reading and learning.

The course will have few traditional lectures, but will mainly be in the form of Flipped classroom, based on the chapters in the textbook (plus complementary articles). All students are expected to have read the chapter/article prior to the class. The respective chapter/papers for each day are provided in the schedule.

Activities:

We are also planning a few excursion days near Gothenburg, for these you need to be physically present and active at the department. I also hope to meet you all almost every day for lecture / group discussions at the department. 

Have a look for your assigned excursion group and date here: Excursion to Skogaryd 

please email Ulrika if you are not on the list (Ulrika Ervander ulrika.ervander@gu.se)
