Course contents
The course deals with marine geological processes that can affect environmental conditions at sea, on land, and in the atmosphere. Risk analysis associated with these processes includes topics such as slope stability and submarine slides, fluids in the subsurface, earthquakes and tsunamis, coastal vulnerability, the frequency of occurrence of natural events, installations on the sea bed, fish and coral habitats, palaeoproductivity in the sea and methods for measuring pre-industrial natural pollution. Examples from these topics are further explored through practical exercises
