- Outline of lecture
- This lecture is given to provide the fundamentals to understand aquatic ecosystems and their applications to assess aquatic environments for sustainable management. The fundamentals include aquatic chemistry, biogeochemistry, and aquatic ecology, which are common for freshwater and saltwater systems. The applied aspects emphasize freshwater ecosystems in relation to river environmental management.
