Marine Geological/Geophysical Field-and Laboratory Course

Language of Instruction

English

Pre-requirements

Principles of marine geology and geophysics.

Learning Outcomes

After completing the course GEOV231 the student should be able to:

- plan a survey for acquiring shallow seismic data, bathymetry data and sediment cores

- perform interpretation and field- and laboratory analyses on the collected data

- present the dataset, methods, results and geological interpretation in a report were both the stratigraphy and the geological processes in the study area are described

Course offered (semester)

Spring. This is a course with limited capacity.

Language of Instruction

English

Aim and Content

The course gives a practical introduction to the application of marine geological and marine geophysical instrumentation and field methods (seismic, multibeam and sediment sampling). There will be a theoretical introduction on the methods applied in the field and on the laboratories. The students must carry out an interpretation on the acquired/retrieved acoustic data set and in addition describe and analyze the sediment core material.
