Biogeochemical Processes In Aquatic Environments

This exam evaluates the biogeochemical processes occurring in aquatic environments, including rivers, lakes, and oceans. Candidates will consider how chemical, physical, and biological interactions shape water quality and ecosystem health.

Understanding biogeochemical processes is vital for water resource management, pollution control, and the preservation of aquatic biodiversity. The implications of these processes are significant for public health, fisheries management, and climate resilience.

The exam will require students to verbally convey the interactions among different biogeochemical cycles in aquatic environments. Candidates should be prepared to discuss the implications of these processes on water quality and ecosystem services.

Focus on real-world case studies will enhance discussions and evaluate the impact of anthropogenic activities on aquatic systems.
