Students are able to perform stream reconnaissance and sample benthic algae, macrozoobenthos and drift. In addition, students are able to identify the most common benthic algal and macrozoobenthic taxa of low-order streams.
Examination topics
Introductory lectures (powerpoint presentations), guided field work at a mountain stream and guided as well as unguided data analyses in the lab. Handouts are distributed at the start of the course.

In the field, practical skills such as stream reconnaissance, hydological methodology, bed morphology and samplin methods, among others, are trained. Team work is strongly encouraged. In the lab, data are processed and important working techniques are demonstrated.
