Course evaluation feedback from last time the course was give:
“I think this was the most equilibrate course I have attended”
“It was a great experience and brain storming in various issues related to landscape functioning”
“The depth of questions and discussion added a level of challenge to the course that I believe increased its value tremendously”
“Excellent teachers in combination with well-motivated students resulted in a very good course. I especially liked the discussions in small groups, very interesting!”
The course provides a broad yet mechanistic understanding of watershed science using the Krycklan Catchment Study at the Svartberget field station in Vindeln (Sweden) as a teaching laboratory. The course includes a combination of short lectures, field excursions and exercises, discussion of literature, and student-led presentations – all designed to foster close interaction among students and instructors. Students will be examined individually based on participation in all activities, discussions, and assignments.
