Environmental Biogeochemistry

About this programme

Fundamental understanding of the biogeochemical cycles, and how they are coupled, is vital in order to both understand and mitigate the consequences of human perturbations. We will in this course explore different biogeochemical cycles, focusing on terrestrial and aquatic systems, and discuss how they interact and are linked to human activities. The course includes lectures as well as exercises and seminar workshops where the students take an active role in e.g. scientific literature review and classroom discussions. Participation in exercises and seminars is compulsory. The teachers on this course are resarchers at the Department of Environmental Science, which hosts the course, and also from the Department of Geological Sciences. Julie is one of the teachers in Environmental Biogeochemistry. Her research focusses on carbon biogeochemistry in aquatic systems, such as Greenland fjords, thermokarst lakes, tropical peatlands. Her lectures during this course will touch on the basic of carbon dynamics in a changing world. To follow your passion. To be close to international career opportunities. To explore city and countryside. In Stockholm you can really get the best of both worlds. Here we explain all the different steps you need to go through when applying to a course or programme. Stockholm University arranges regular webinars and participates in educational fairs and events virtually and around the world to meet students and inform them about our study programmes. Every year Stockholm University welcomes thousands of international students from all over the world. E
