Kurstyp: Ren forskarutbildningskurs
Undervisningsspråk: English
The course should provide understanding of physical, chemical and meteorological processes in the atmosphere as well as environmental concequences of changes of atmospheric composition caused by human activities, such as climate change and destruction of stratospheric ozone. The course should also provide a capability to assess and discuss environmental issues within the working life and societal debate from a natural science perspective.

Atmospheric composition and thermodynamical properties, meteorology, meteorological models, geochemical cycles, climate, aerosol, chemical kinetics, stratospheric ozone, oxidising power of the atmosphere, tropospheric ozone and acid rain. The project includes studies of scientific litterature, evaluation, and presentation at a seminar. The research student selects subject, which must be approved by the course teachers before the project start. The subject must be directed to the atmosphere, based on the course content, and be a broadening of the knowledge. The subject cannot be part of the thesis work. It's okay if the subject later might be relevant for the thesis work.
