Major topics: Important sources and sinks of atmospheric aerosols and their importance for men and environment. Particle emissions from combustion systems, means to reduce emissions like particle filters.

Basic principles of the atmosphere, physical structure and chemical composition, trace gases, atmospheric cycles, circulation, stability, radiation, condensation, clouds, oxidation capacity and ozone layer.

This course covers the chemical and physical processes controlling the composition of the troposphere and stratosphere and introduces the relevant fundamentals for processes in the gas phase, in aerosols and clouds. These concepts are explored in the context of key environmental issues, such as urban air pollution, stratospheric ozone depletion, and air quality connections to climate change.

This is a self-study course targeted at Master students who did not follow the bachelor course "atmospheric chemistry" or equivalent, providing a general introduction into atmospheric chemistry. It introduces the relevant fundamental concepts, which are explored in the context of key environmental issues, such as air pollution, stratospheric ozone depletion, and connections to climate change.

This atmospheric chemistry laboratory course introduces students to state-of-the-art instruments and methods for the investigation of the physico-chemical properties of aerosol particles at the Laboratory of Atmospheric Chemistry (Paul Scherrer Institute). We will use a flowtube to coat black carbon particles with organic material and to observe the changes in their physical-optical properties.

Lectures, exercises and excursions serve as an introduction to atmospheric sciences, soil science and hydrology. Students gain a broad vision of the cutting edge topics that are being researched and studied at D-USYS and D-BAUG at ETH, Eawag, and WSL. This will be the base for a future dialog between the field of landscape architecture and the field of natural sciences and engineering.

The colloquium is a series of scientific talks by prominent invited speakers assembling interested students and researchers from around Zürich. Students take part of the scientific discussions.

Students are supervised by one of the teachers of the core courses of the system Atmosphere and acquire profound knowledge in a aspired subject, favourably by the study of scientific literature.

This lecture discusses fundamental concepts and technologies in the area of network security. Several case studies illustrate the dark side of the Internet and explain how to protect against such threats. A hands-on computer lab that accompanies the lecture gives a deep dive on firewalls, penetration testing and intrusion detection.

New master students are introduced to the atmospheric and climate research field through keynotes given by the programme's professors. In several self-assessment and networking workshops they get to know each other and obtain general information and guidance about the organisation of the MSc programme.

The field course offers the opportunity to carry out atmospheric physical and chemical experiments. Students can acquire knowledge in experimental, instrumental, numerical or theoretical aspects of atmospheric sciences.
