IMPRS-gBGC workshop 'Analytical Techniques'
Category: Skill course
0.2 CP per course day
This skill course provides insights into different analytical techniques which are applied to resolve key questions in global biogeochemistry and related Earth system sciences. Please do not participate in a course module if you are already familiar with the technique. The modules will give introductions to the methods. They do not address users.
