Radionuclides

Content

The blended learning “Radionuclides as environmental tracers” explores how radionuclides can be used as tracers to understand environmental processes. This includes how they serve as tracers for paleoclimate reconstruction and to understand the carbon cycle, and how they contribute to generating knowledge about ocean water circulation. The course focuses on long-lived radionuclides that decay over thousands or millions of years, which require sophisticated mass spectrometers to measure. In addition, the course features a video series that take students through the central aspects of each case study and provide a more visual and interactive learning experience.  

Each case study video begins with an introduction to the topic, followed by expert statements and a voice-over that connects the individual statements and presents the scientific content in an engaging narrative, while each lecture focuses on one case study, providing in-depth analysis with clear structure suitable for master's or doctoral students from different backgrounds. The videos serve as an introduction to each section.
