"Course goals\n\n \n \nIn this course, students are invited to explore the mechanisms that govern the distribution, architecture, and characteristics of deposits preserved in the geological record at the level of a Master in Science.\nThroughout the thematic treatment described below, students will be confronted with the mechanisms “at work” in modelling exercises both in the silicon environment of numerical modelling as well as the gritty environment of the flume laboratory. These practical exercises will allow the students to strengthen their skills in modeling approaches and data treatment.\nAn optional three-day fieldtrip to Holocene and Jurassic tidal, coastal and shallow marine deposits will allow the students to use elementary observations on sedimentary facies to build models and interpretations of the evolution of past sedimentary systems.\nContent\nEarly in the course, emphasis is put on the effect the choice of temporal and spatial scales defined by a research question has on our approach to sediment transport dynamics. Following this, the hierarchy and scaling of the architecture of sedimentary successions is investigated. The structure of this architecture will be built on concepts of sequence stratigraphy. Once a clear perspective on the organization of deposits in parasequences, sequences, and shelf-clinoforms has been presented to the student, attention will shift to forcing mechanisms of deposit characteristics within different depositional environments: Alluvial systems; transgressive systems and highstand deltas; tidal systems; and deep marine depositional systems. The course will conclude by challenging the students to investigate the validity and application of two oft (miss-)used concepts of Earth Sciences: “Walther’s Law”; and “The present is the key to the past”." . .

"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" . .
