Course content
Up to date aspects of structural geology from micro- to macro-scales. To give insight and understanding of applied aspects of structural geology, including digital techniques of 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: Fabric development mechanisms and rheological properties of rocks; deformation regimes, deformation maps, state of stress in the lithosphere; techniques of experimental rock deformation and flow laws; fault mechanics; brittle and ductile structures analysis and characterization; paleo-stress analysis; direct dating of deformation.
- Applied aspects of structural geology, including digital techniques of integrated structural data analysis, visualization and interpretation.
Skills:
- Students will develop 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, practicals and laboratory work, fieldwork at Sletvik.
Compulsory assignments
- Field work
