Course content
From the prerequisite course TGB4100 Geology, Introduction, students are familiar with the Earth's internal processes - the origin and transformations of minerals and rocks, and processes in the lithosphere. This course also deals with external processes, e.g. origin of glacial, glacifluvial and fluvial sediments, and properties of soils (stabilty and slides). It also includes overview of the bedrock geology of Norway, tectonics and georesources onshore and offshore. The last part on resources deals with fossil and renewable energy, CO2 storage, groundwater, minerals, aggregates, gravel, etc., the value chain from mineral deposit to mineral product, and environmental issues.
Learning outcome
KNOWLEDGE: The student learns about the geological development of mainland and offshore Norway, from the Precambrian to present. The course provides the student with a basic overview of geological resources, renewable and non-renewable and how geological processes become responsible for the formation of geological resources.
SKILLS: The student should, based on observations, be able to evaluate what geological processes have been active and further be able to use geological maps, profiles, stratigraphic columns, and models, with the understanding that they are interpretations subject to improvements.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and compulsory exercises, and 2-3 field trips. Compulsory field work may be scheduled for a weekend.
Compulsory assignments
- Exercises
- Field course
Further on evaluation
If there is a re-sit examination, the form of assessment may be changed from written to oral examination.
Required previous knowledge
Course TGB4100 Geology, Introduction, GEOG1014 Earth's Natural Environment, or similar knowledge of introductory geology.
