Aim and Content

The aim of the course is that the students should be better prepared to meet the practical challenges associated with a field and/or laboratory based master project in Quaternary geology and palaeoclimate. The course gives an introduction to:

1) techniques applied in fieldwork in Quaternary geology (geophysical methods and core sampling),

2) techniques that are used for analysing sample material, and

3) data treatment (graphical representation of data, geophysical interpretation of data).
