Crustal Dynamics, Mountain Building and Basin Evolution (GEOL0023)

The field course is designed as a problem-based approach and offers experience-based learning. It provides Third and Fourth Year students with an up-to-date perspective on micro- to macro-scale geological features and processes in the geological framework of crustal evolution and dynamics.

By the end of this field course the students should understand and be able to apply how a holistic small-scale approach can unravel the geological history of large-scale geological processes and features.

GEOL0004 Dynamic Earth, GEOL0006 Surface Processes and GEOL0010 Surface Processes and Structures are prerequisites for undergraduate students.
