Earth, Water, and Ice: Environmental Assessment in the Geosciences


About this course

Our environment is made up of earth, water, and in the case of the Arctic, ice. Within the soil, those components form a complex system, that enables physical, chemical, and biological processes to function. To correctly describe and quantify these cycles, we need to measure its conditions at present state, so that we can understand how climate change might affect them in the future. Gain a theoretical understanding of the processes involved, apply practical skills while performing fieldwork, and design your own research project exploring the soils around Copenhagen.
