Learning Objectives
The main learning objective is to provide the theoretical bases of environmental chemistry. In particular, students will acquire knowledge of the causes and impacts of changes in atmospheric composition from the global to the local scale.
Program
Introduction to environmental chemistry; research fields in environmental chemistry; atmospheric composition changes and their impacts on climate and air quality; biogeochemical cycles: carbon, sulfur, nitrogen; Aerosol life cycle ed effects on climate and air quality; the chemistry of the stratosphere.
Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
Knowledge and understanding: the student must demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the issues proposed in the course, based on what they have learned in their school career and on the specific information provided in the course.
Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: the student will have to demonstrate the ability to apply the acquired knowledge to case studies specifically referring to the problems of environmental management
Autonomy of judgment: the student must be able to carry out independent investigations on the proposed topics
Communication skills: the student must be able to present their knowledge clearly and comprehensively during a final dissertation
Learning ability: the student must be able to process the information acquired during the course independently, also with appropriate in-depth analysis
