GEO-3106 Tectonics - 10 ECTS
Admission requirements
The course is available as a singular course. Admission requirements are a Bachelor's degree in geology or similar education, including specialization in geology worth the equivalent of not less than 80 ECTS credits. Local admission, application code 9371 - singular courses at Master's level. The course is also available to exchange students and free-movers.Course content
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.
