(*)The aim of the class is to make students familiar with so-called biogeochemical cycles. At the end of the class, students should understand the processes that drive biogeochemical cycles on local, continental or global scales, both in natural conditions and under human impact. Part of the class is dedicated to the introduction to mathematical modeling, which is frequently used in biogeochemical cycles research.
