Doctoral students will engage in expert- and peer-led workshops to enhance skills that are crucial for their success. Scientific writing constitutes a major part of this course. Additional topics will be chosen by students and could include publishing, data visualization, genAI and presentation skills. Students will bolster their scientific networks by learning and collaborating with peers.
This Master level course delves into the emerging field of the origin and prevalence of life. Using interdisciplinary concepts from biology, chemistry, (astro)physics, and earth/planetary sciences the quest on the origin and prevalence of life is explored.
We will study traces in the lithosphere that have been left behind by organisms during the course of Earth history and mineral components, which were built through biological processes or used as sources of energy and nutrients by organisms. Traces of life from the past will be compared with the development of the diversity of today's organisms.
This class provides an introduction to machine learning concepts, techniques and algorithms and their applications in Earth and Planetary Sciences. The course will cover both the fundamentals and application of machine learning techniques for research. Emphasis will be placed on unsupervised and probabilistic methods and their use in Earth and Planetary Sciences.
In this class you tackle an individual research problem by applying the machine learning methods you learned in Machine Learning for Earth and Planetary Science I and/or Machine Learning for Earth and Planetary Science II. Takes place in weeks 8-15 of the semester.
As a supplementary course to the lecture. The lecture provides an introduction to machine learning concepts, techniques and algorithms and their applications in Geobiology. The course will cover both the fundamentals and application of machine learning techniques for geobiological research.
The Precambrian Earth experienced several environmental states—all drastically different from today—that are recorded in sedimentological, fossil, and genetic records. We will review "classic" and more recent scientific literature on the evolution of chemical and biological processes to critically evaluate what we do and don't know about how our planet's biogeochemistry has changed through time.
