"Course goals\n\n This first-year MSc course aims to provide geology and geophysics students with the necessary background concerning the larger scale context of the closely related processes of basin formation and orogenic evolution in the framework of lithosphere-scale mechanics.\nContent\n The course is meant for students who are particularly interested in combining a physics-based understanding with observations in understanding the evolution of sedimentary basins and orogenic systems. \n\nLearning objectives\nAfter following this course, students will be able to\n\nInfer processes that play a role in sedimentary basins and orogenic systems formation and evolution, on the basis of their main geological and geophysical features;\nExplain how conceptual models of these processes can be developed further into quantitative models by taking into account the relevant physics;\nIllustrate how geological observations can be used to test and refine the proposed conceptual models of evolution (concept of testing working hypotheses);\nAnalyze basin and orogen formation, evolution mechanisms and (sub)surface processes, which are needed to further understand locations and potential of economic-relevant geo-resources;\nEvaluate crustal- to lithospheric-scale processes, relevant for quantifying the orogenic evolution at continental margins and interiors and their paleogeography in terms of subduction processes combined with accretionary and plateau-type orogenesis.\n\nTransferable skills\nThe course contributes to the following transferrable skills:\nAbility to work in a team: the student work out together the assignments in a team of two, both members sharing the responsibility of delivering the product;\nWritten communication skills: every project (assignment or computer lab) contains an explanatory description in a fixed length format. The students learn how to transmit efficiently data interpretation;\nProblem-solving skills: assignments have multiple solutions with successive levels of solving problems not anticipated before and interpretation adjusted;\nTechnical skills: students develop technical and visualisation skills by developing numerical codes and performing analogue modelling that includes spatial geometries and interpretation techniques. \nFlexibility/adaptability: students use industry approaches to solve practical problems that require an advanced degree of flexibility;\nAnalytical/quantitative skills: knowledge obtained during classes are extensively applied to real practical situations that require solutions. Computer labs train students in using MATLAB to quantitatively analyse a given problem." . . "Presential"@en . "TRUE" . . "Master of Earth, Life and Climate"@en . .

"Topics you will study during this two-year programme include amongst others the origin and evolution of life, major transitions in earth’s history, dynamics of sedimentary systems, carbon sources and sinks, biogeochemical and geochemical cycles, climate change and its impact on natural environments such as glaciers, ice sheets, lakes, groundwater, wetlands, estuaries, and oceans. You will learn state-of-the-art reconstruction methods, modelling techniques, and laboratory experiments that has been developed and applied in a wide range of earth and beta science disciplines, such as biogeology, palaeontology, palynology, sedimentology, stratigraphy, environmental geochemistry, organic geochemistry, hydrology, physical geography, geology, biology, climate dynamics, marine sciences and palaeoceanography. You will utilise these skills in your own research project or internship in preparation for an international career in applied or fundamental research."@en . . . . . "2"@en . "FALSE" . .
