The project work represent the heart of the course. Here, the participants train aspects of sampling, sample preparation, chemical analysis, quality assurance, data analysis and spatial modelling.
The project work include 1 week of field work in the Arctic including sampling, sample preparation and chemical analysis on-site as well as spatial modelling of contaminant distribution if relevant for the specific project. Projects are performed in groups of 3-4 students.

The course objective is to design and execute a field study on contaminant distribution in an arctic field site (e.g., the Disko Island, Greenland) including sampling, chemical analysis, and spatial modelling if relevant for the specific project.

MSc students will have to pay 6.000 DKK as a contribution to the travel expenses.

PhD students will have to pay 20.000 DKK to pay travel and lab expenses.

A course in instrumental analysis, like the course “Analytical Chemistry 1 LKEF10076”, is required and knowledge of, or a course in basic statistics, is also recommended. Knowledge on GIS technology and programming is an advantage.
