Graduate School Science, Medicine and Technology - OLTECH

Graduate School Science, Medicine and Technology
The aims of the Graduate School OLTECH are to train PhD candidates in an international and interdisciplinary context. They learn to develop inventive research questions and new approaches to solving problems, to plan and manage projects and to present the results of their studies. The early-career researchers learn about the relevant models and hypotheses in their field of science and can practise discussing them.
The curriculum combines several disciplines ensuring that the doctoral researchers are able to integrate their scientific skills into a broader context. All curriculum elements serve to enhance the scientific independence and creativity of the PhD students.

OLTECH - Mentoring programme for young researchers (10/2021 - 10/2022)
Coding in R for Environmental Scientists
This will be a hands-on, practical course intended to give students an overview and introduction to R applied to analysing environmental data, with specific emphasis on chemical datasets. We will briefly present an overview at the beginning of every course and then have the students do activities. We will begin with a brief introduction to the R environment and basic function and then include an overview of statistical analyses that are valuable in environmental datasets. Our end goal is that students will be able to work with R efficiently and know how to approach their scientific questions and advance their science with R.
Seminar: Use of Ra and Rn isotopes in environmental studies
By Dr. Hannelore Waska
In the scope of this short introductory course, we will review the basics of radiochemistry, explore the utility of the U-Th series radionuclides in geochronology and flux calcuations, and establish an overview about analytical approaches and environmental applications. The course will include a field trip to Spiekeroog Island, where samples will be collected and analyzed later at ICBM in Oldenburg.
