Hi

This is meant for those of you who are focusing on geochemistry and are 
registering for classes next year, and feel that there are insufficient 
variety of courses.

According to "Kennsluskrá 2012-13" there basically are no courses for 
geochemistry students. However there are three courses  listed in 
"kennsluskrá" but I have no idea whether they are just recurring from 
last year's "kennsluskrá" or what. But these courses are:

JAR112F - Analytical geochemistry 2
JAR214F - Aqueous chemistry
JAR215F - Modelling in geochemistry

As these are the only courses that I know of that are specific for 
geochemistry. If you know of any others feel free to share. Analytical 
geochemistry and modelling are taught on individual basis and therefore 
should be taught even though only one student registers. This however 
was not the case last year, I do not know why and the department never 
issued why.

I would also like to encourage those of you that need to fill your quota 
of credits, that you do not compromise and register for courses taught 
by the department of geosciences just to get credits. You might want to 
take a look at some of the courses available at the department of 
chemistry, for example

  * Physical chemistry 1
  * Inorganic chemistry 1 (and maybe 2)

Other departments might as well have courses that are much more useful 
for you.

I hope to hear from those of you that feel the need for proper courses 
in geochemistry.

regards.
Bjarni
