GEO-3106 Tectonics - 10 stp
Course contents
The course gives a thorough treatment of deformation structures in extensional, contractional and strike-slip geotectonic regimes. Various methods and tools will be used to analyze meso-scale and macro-scale ductile and brittle deformation structures, multiple, progressive and partitioned deformation, applied tectonic geomorphology and tectonic induced rock slope failures (rock avalanches).
The use of seismic data, the strain-stress concept, kinematic indicators, slip-linear data and DEM images will be highlighted. During a 5 days field course at the end of the semester, the students should map and analyze Precambrian ductile structures and post-Caledonian brittle tectonic elements in western Troms.
Assessment
Admission for final examination requires approved journals and field report.
Date for examination
The date for the exam can be changed. The final date will be announced at your faculty early in May and early in November.
