Programme

The scientific programme comprises excursions, sampling, analytical lab work, and lectures concerning different topics of Wadden Sea and coastal research. The main items are:

  • Introductory lectures on the coastal area of the southern North Sea and on Wadden Sea research
  • Island excursion on Spiekeroog
  • Sampling of pore water and sediments on a beach, on a tidal flat, and from boat
  • Sediment microbiology (microscopy)
  • Optical analysis of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM)
  • Nutrient analysis
  • Lectures on biogeochemistry of subterranean estuaries, operational oceanography and the time series station, nutrients and pore water biogeochemistry in tidal flats and the Wadden Sea
  • Introduction to multivariate statistics
  • Presentations by participants
  • Sedimentology and ecology of tidal flats (walk across tidal flats to the mainland)
  • Excursion on Quaternary geology, landscape development and settling history
  • Molecular analysis of dissolved organic matter using Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry (FTICRMS)
  • Advanced nutrient and trace metal analyses usinginductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy and ion chromatography
  • Archaeal and bacterial contributions to microbial communities in sediments (fluorescence in-situ hybridisation microscopy and methane content)
  • Statistical analysis of complex data sets and data compilation
  • Lectures on coastal hydrogeology and submarine ground water discharge
  • Synopsis with presentations by the participants

This programme is partly preliminary and may be subject to some changes.
