AE2104 Environmental Measuring and Monitoring 7.5 credits

• Land and water investigation techniques  
• Investigation strategies
• Formulation of monitoring programmes
• Applied measurement techniques for dynamic and static processes
• Flow measurements Field sampling techniques
• Groundwater sampling and hydraulic field tests Physical properties of soil and water
• Geophysical measurement techniques (a.o. electrical and electromagnetical measurements, seismic, ground penetrating radar, spectrometer)
• Evaluation techniques
• Statistical methods for time series and spatial analysis
• Modelling of geophysical data
• Evaluation of hydraulic tests

After the course is completed the student shall be able to:  

• formulate, realize and analyse site investigation programmes for hydrological, hydrogeological and environmental monitoring
• Use field equipment and instruments (especially geophysical measurement techniques) for measurements of soil, water and environmental properties
• Scientifically select investigation strategies, estimate data quality and analyse and evaluate measurement data using statistical and modelling technique

Bachelor's degree in the field of civil engineering, environmental engineering, or another subject with clear relevance to the course, of at least 180 higher education credits, which includes basic knowledge in mathematics, physics, chemistry or earth sciences for at least 30 higher education credits. Proficiency in English (English B or equivalent).

AE2201 Environmental dynamics/Physical processes or AE2801 Environmental Chemistry and Risk Assessment

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• TEN1 - Examination, 3.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
• ÖVN1 - GIS Laboratory Work, 4.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Approved written examination (TEN1; 4c) and approved exercise and laboratory course (ÖVN1; 3.5c)
