Zoom Link: https://dieangewandte-at.zoom.us/j/65584240536
Guest Lecture: Riho Mötlep, Institute for Geology and Earth Science, University of Tartu
Topics: What is oil shale? Topography of extraction Waste/Environmental impact
Methodological Briefing: Mindaugas Gapševičius & Felix Bonowski, Bauhaus University Weimar
Topics: acoustic ecology, chromatography, listening exercises; Instructions for Group Work (3- 5 people)
Homework: Idea paper (1 page). What relational dynamics / transformations do you want to explore?
Key Steps (in preparation of field week)
▪ Select an object, organism, specimen, people or places to study
▪ Conduct preparatory research on de/re-composition of elemental flows they embody and to what effect
▪ Summarize your research interest/planned experiment in your research Diary on your personal wiki page
- 5+ sentences background info,
- 10+ sentences description: main object/focus of fieldwork, research question, anticipated outcomes
- 5+ technical description: tools, method, process
- 5+ references
Due: by April 30th 2025 noon

NOTE: This project is only interesting for the way they work with radiation as a photographic device, not for the concept note of the project. Using x-ray film for capturing the afterlife of uranium extraction is interesting. It allowed to visualize the recalibration of elemental flows in contaminated soils that would otherwise be imperceptible.
