To provide a theoretical grounding in advanced aspects of structural geology, as well as the practical application of structural field mapping techniques in complexly deformed areas.
Extended field excursion (duration 7 days) adressing different topics dependent on the localities visited (varies from year to year).

Geological Mapping in the Alps in pairs with an assigned supervisor. Common activities are an introductory excursion, and a final presentation of the report and map, either in the field or in class. The scheduled two weeks are set at the beginning and end of the summer, to allow interested students to add some mapping days.

Geology of the Alps
Geologie der Alpen
Provides a practical, field-based introduction to the Geology of the Alps
Geology of the Alps
Geologie der Alpen I
The current geometry of the Alps in both map and profile view is considered, from Provence to the limit of the Eastern Alps. The development of this mountain chain is analysed from the point of view of plate tectonics, paleogeography, sedimentology, stratigraphy, structural geology, metamorphism, magmatic petrology, geochronology and geophysics to develop a comprehensive model for the Alps.
Microscopy of rocks
Mikroskopie der Gesteine
Use of the polarizing microscope to indentify minerals and to give a rock its proper name. Application of the main optical properties to recognize and name the common rock-forming minerals and structures in magmatic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks.
Structural Geology
Strukturgeologie
Description and introduction to the development processes of1) Brittle structures (faults, joints, cracks and veins)2) Ductile structures (folds, foliations, lineations, and shear zones)3) Introduction to finite strain
