Lectures of the Research Group Geomaterial Science

Our lectures are intended for undergraduate and graduate students of Applied Geosciences and, in an interdisciplinary context, for interested students of all departments. In the Bachelor's programme, the mineralogical aspect is the main focus of the education, the knowledge of minerals and their structure, whereas in the Master's programme, the focus of teaching lies on the crystallographic and crystal chemical aspect, knowledge of the crystalline structure and application potentials of minerals.
