061-0101-00LClimate / Water / Soil Information Belegung eingeschränkt - Details anzeigen 2 KP3GH. Joos, R. Kretzschmar, R. Weingartner, A. Carminati, S. Dötterl, M. G. Fellin, A. Frossard, T. Galí-Izard, N. Gruber, V. Picotti, S. Schemm, J. Schwaab, C. Steger, H. Wernli
KurzbeschreibungLectures, exercises and excursions serve as an introduction to atmospheric sciences, soil science and hydrology. Students gain a broad vision of the cutting edge topics that are being researched and studied at the Department of Environmental Systems Science at ETH, Eawag, WSL a.o. This will be the base for a future dialog between the field of landscape architecture and the field of sciences.
LernzielStudents acquire basic knowledge in atmospheric sciences, hydrology and soil science:
- Understanding basic chemical and physical processes in the atmosphere that influence weather and climate
- Fundamentals about the classification of soils, soil-forming processes, physical and chemical soil properties, soil biology and ecology, soil degradation and protection
- Knowledge of water balance, principles of integral water management and climatic factors in the field of hydrology

Students develop an understanding of the relevance of these topics in the field of landscape architecture. Temporal and physical scale, research methods, units of measurement, lexicon, modes of representation and critical literature form the framework for the joint discourse.
InhaltThe course unit consists of the three courses "Climate", "Soil" and "Water", which are organized in modules.

Module 1 “Climate”, 25.–28.09.2023
- Atmospheric dynamics: weather conditions, precipitation formation, weather forecast
- Carbon Cycle: atmospheric CO2 concentrations and its interaction with the physical climate system
- Land-climate dynamics: interaction between the land surface and the climate system
- Hydrology and water cycle: extreme precipitation, influence of climate change on the cryosphere
- Introduction to geology: formation of rocks, geologic times, structural geology


Module 2 “Soil”, 2.10.–5.10.23
- Introduction to soils: definition, function, formation, classification and mapping
- Soil physics: soil texture, soil structure, soil water potentials, hydraulic conductivity
- Soil chemistry and fertility: clay minerals and oxides, cation exange capacity, soil pH, essential plant nutrients
- Soil biology and ecology: soil fauna and microflora, fungi, bacteria, food web, organic matter
- Soil degradation and threats to soil resources: erosion, compactation, sealing, contamination, salinization


Module 3 “Water”, 09.10.–12.10.2023

Basics:
- Water supply: water balance, groundwater, water quality (water protection)
- River restoration
- Flooding, evapotranspiration/cooling of landscapes
- Hydropower (everything is managed - lake levels, water flows, pumping) - hydrology in the anthropocene
- Water management and storage
SkriptCourse material will be provided.
LiteraturThe course material includes a reading list.

651-4229-00LAdvanced Geochronology3 KP2GM. Guillong, H. Busemann, M. G. Fellin, D. Szymanowski
KurzbeschreibungThis lecture gives an overview of methods and applications of geochronology across a wide range of Earth Science disciplines. Several in their field specialized lecturers cover the principles and methods and will give insight into recent applications and research projects.
LernzielThe purpose of this lecture is to provide a comprehensive overview of: a) the different radiometric methods in Geology, the different dating tasks and the constraints put by the complexity of natural systems, including dating by cosmogenic nuclides,
b) the various analytical tools available today for radiometric dating, their advantages and disadvantages,
c) the use of noble gases in Geochemistry and
d) detailed description of case studies, as examples of approach of a number of geological problems and interpretation of the data.

At the end students know the different isotope systems, methods and their application. Understand literature and critical reading and interpretation of published data is possible. For simple geochronological questions they can describe a scientific approach and possible solution. They can plot and interprete data using IsoplotR for different applications.
