This course will introduce some of the main quantitative methods available for the quantitative treatment of geochemical data, as well as the main modelling tools. Emphasis will both be on conceptual understanding of these methods as well as on their practical application, using key software packages to analyse real geochemical datasets.

Provides a basic introduction into Earth Sciences, emphasizing different rock-types and the geological rock-cycle, as well as introduction into geophysics, plate tectonics and planetology.

Processes on Earth surface: Climate, water cycle, weathering and erosion, transport, sedimentation. Rock deformation. Geochronology, stratigraphy and Earth history.

No description available.

Self-study course, the contents of which will be defined by consultation with the study advisor.

Planet Earth has had complex history since its formation ~4.6 billion years ago. To understand its past evolution, and glimpse at its future, one needs an integrated perspective including many aspects of the earth sciences (e.g., geochemistry, geophysics, geology). The main goal of the course is to achieve this integrated view of the solid part of our planet.

This course treats the generation and evolution of igneous rocks as well as the metamorphism of igneous and sedimentary rocks as products of geodynamic processes operating within the Earth´s interior.

This course represents the continuation of Magmatism and Metamorphism I and concerns the generation and evolution of igneous rocks as well as the metamorphism of igneous and sedimentary rocks as products of geodynamic processes operating within the Earth´s interior.

Heat and mass transfers from the mantle to the crust control many aspects of the differentiation of our planet, including (1) primitive melt chemistry, (2) layering of the crust, (3) type of volcanic eruption, (4) formation of mineral deposits. This year, we will focus on processes in crystal mushes (formation, crystallization, remobilization, degassing).

This course discusses processes occurring from magma generation to eruption, covering topics like magma transport and storage, magma reservoir evolution and architecture, eruption triggering and ascent in conduit, connection between magma reservoir properties and eruption behavior, eruption dynamics, and more. The course also discusses deposits, and prepares you for the volcanology field course.

The course complements the lecture class on physical volcanology, by providing a close look at the field characteristics of volcanic deposits. It is run in a volcanic province, typically in Europe (e.g., Iceland, Greece, Italy, Spain, Germany, France). The course focuses on the field description of many types of volcanic deposits and their edifices.
