This Master's level course focuses on the theory and application of advanced analytical techniques used to characterize the physical and chemical properties of the ocean. You will gain a deeper understanding of methods for quantifying specific compounds and analyzing the marine environment. The skills learned are also applicable to broader industrial and environmental science fields. The course addresses the unique challenges of chemical measurements in seawater, considering its complex composition and the vast spatial and temporal scales involved. Understanding the flow of chemicals globally and locally is crucial, as these are linked to human activities and Earth's climate. To interpret biogeochemical processes, one must consider the physical and chemical complexity of seawater, the atmosphere, and sediments. Many naturally occurring organic and inorganic species are present at extremely low concentrations, and only a few ions exceed 1mM. Furthermore, seawater is a complex organic mixture. New technologies and sensor development are rapidly advancing to meet these analytical challenges.
