The aim of the course:
To show the students, how to use environmental isotopes at groundwater and thermal spring problems.
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : describe stable isotopes and radioisotopes in water1,3,131,3
PO - 2 : make sampling water for environmental isotopic analysis4,111,3
PO - 3 : interpreate about stable isotopes and tritium in precipitation1,4,111,3
PO - 4 : interpreate the deltaD-delta18O relation in precipitation13,141,3
PO - 5 : use isotopic techniques in interaction on surface water with groundwater4,7,141,3
PO - 6 : use isotopic techniques to solve in water-rock interaction problems1,4,141,3
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), PO : Learning Outcome
