Lehrveranstaltungen
Ecology and Environmental Chemistry 1 (Vorlesung/Seminar)
Dozent/in: Thorsten Aßmann, Ralf Ebinghaus, Werner Härdtle, Wolf-Ulrich Palm, Wolfgang Ruck, Goddert von Oheimb
Termin:
wöchentlich | Mittwoch | 10:15 - 11:45 | 06.10.2008 - 23.01.2009 | C 13.7 Labor
Inhalt: • Definition of anthopogenic chemical pollution, typical classes of pollutants (e.g. organic compounds such as pesticides, PAH, CFC, and inorganic compounds such as nutrients) • Emission sources, local region and global distribution of pollutants • Environmental cycling and fate of pollutants • Legislation and effects of pollution control • Tracing of chemical pollutants in ecosystems (lectures and practice on chemical analysis and instrumentation are offered in semester 2 and 3) • Substances of emerging concern (with reference to marine environments) • Resulting shifts in nutrient cycling and shifts in species composition • Differences in ecological and chemical assessments of ecosystem damage • Pollution impacts on ecosystem stability and resilience • Searching literature and working with scientific-journal papers. Topics will be illustrated by completed and ongoing research projects.
