"Limnological methods" is an advanced course to the course "Limnology" and focuses on methods used in this field. It includes morphometric and hydrological parameters of water bodies, sampling methods and devices for bacteria, phytoplankton, zooplankton and benthos sampling, and chemical analysis of water (dissolved gasses, major ions, dissolved organic matter, and some metals).

1. Morphometry of water bodies and catchments, mapping, remote sensing, GIS.

2. Meteorological and hydrological parameters, calculation of water residence time and water balance.

3. Equipment and methods for water sampling, preparation and cleaning of sampling bottles and lab equipment, preparation of ultra pure water.

4. Analytical methods for determination of dissolved gasses, major ions (H+, Ca++, Mg++, Na+, K+, NH4+, F-, Cl-, NO2-, NO3-, SO4--, HCO3-), dissolved organic matter (TON, DOC), and metals (Al) in water samples.

5. Equipment and methods for sampling, and microscopic and physical and chemical methods for determination of numbers and biomass of bacteria, phytoplankton, zooplankton, and benthos of running and standing waters.
