Course content
Up to date aspects of structural geology from micro to macro scale. To give insight and understanding of both underlaying processes and applied aspects of structural geology, including integrated structural data analysis, visualization and interpretation.
Learning outcome
The aim of the course is to give advanced knowledge in specific topics related to structural geology.
Knowledge: Students will acquire knowledge about up to date aspects of theoretical and experimental structural geology from micro to macro scale. These include: rheological properties of rocks, state of stress, deformation regimes, deformation mechanisms, fault types, fault mechanics, brittle and ductile structures analysis and characterization, kinematic markers... The course will also highlight applied aspects of structural geology, including integrated structural data analysis, visualization and interpretation. Some exercise on offshore seismic reflection data will also be proposed.
Skills: Students will strengthen their skills in the broad field of structural geology and will learn to examine structures and deformation processes at all scales in a holistic fashion, by integrating their knowledge in different geological fields.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, compulsory exercises, fieldwork.
Compulsory 5-days field course in Fosen, Trøndelag, Norway.
Information, lectures and activities will be posted on Blackboard throughout the semester.
Compulsory assignments
- Field report
- Exercises
Further on evaluation
In order to pass the course, both assignments must receive a passing score.
Students who have passed the course and would like to try to improve their grade will only re-take the oral exam.
The approval of the exercises, the field course and report is valid for two years from the first try.
