Natural Water System gives an introduction to the main water systems on earth - surface waters and water systems in soil and atmosphere - salt- and fresh waters. Emphasis is put on geo-/physical and biogeochemical conditions, transport processes and other aquatic ecological aspects. The course contributes to the knowledge base for aquatic environmental technology.
Contents
- The Atmosphere (atmospheric processes, climate and weather, hydrological cycle)
- Freshwater systems (catchment hydrology, rivers and groundwaters, lakes and wetlands, glaciers and permafrost, particular focus on lake eutrophication and biogeochemical processes)
- Sea water systems (ocean basins, wind and ocean circulation, waves and tides, coasts)
- Particles in water, sedimentation and sediments (sea-, lake-, river sediments and soils)
- Organisms and ecology (fresh- and sea water fauna, habitats and ecology)
