Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The aim of the course is to cover a wide range of thematic areas (see course annotations) so that we introduce students to the basic terminology, laws and methods within the course, including their practical application. It is mainly about gaining knowledge about the forms of occurrence of elements in water using hydrochemical models, the application of model results to real systems, the evaluation of ecotoxicity of water systems based on knowledge of the form of occurrence of elements and comparison with real values.

Summary

The course is focused on mastering the main concepts and important principles for successful hydrogeochemical modelling of surface and groundwater. It deepens knowledge in the field of geochemistry of water systems, especially in the areas of distribution of components in natural waters, principles of acid-base equilibria and redox processes, knowledge of the function of carbonate systems and the laws of origin and composition of lithogeny waters.
