Excursion to areas of active and past mining activity and practical industry courses. Mapping relations between regional/local geology and ore deposit formation in the field and in active mines. Insight into the work of mine and exploration geologists, including geophysical measurements, geochemical data handling, economic evaluation, etc.

Presentations and literature discussions on current reserch topics in mineral resources research.

Block course involving lectures, exercises and practical application of inclusion petrography, microthermometry, Raman and LA-ICPMS microanlysis

This course presents advanced topics of single/multiphase fluid flow, heat transfer, reactive transport, and geochemical reactions in the subsurface. Emphasis is on the understanding of the underlying governing equations of each physical and chemical process, and their relevance to applications, e.g., groundwater management, geothermal energy, CO2 storage, waste disposal, and oil/gas production.

The course Integrated Earth Systems III addresses geological resources (georesources) from an integrative perspective. The course covers three interacting focus themes:1) non-metallic mineral resources (aggregates, cement raw materials, hydrocarbons),2) geothermal resources (geothermal energy),3) metallic mineral resources (ores).

Magmatic-hydrothermal ore formation from plate-tectonic scale to fluid inclusions, with a focus on porphyry-Cu-Au deposits, epithermal precious-metal deposits and granite-related Sn-W deposits

Introduction to computer tools for the simulation of hydrothermal fluid flow and hydrothermal reactions. The computer programs are handed out to the students and can be run on normal laptop PCs (Windows operating system; MAC or Linux users will have to install a virtual machine or team up with a colleague with a Window computer). No programming knowledge is necessary.

Introduction to reflected light microscopy. Use of the microscope. Identification of opaque minerals through the use of determination tables. Description of textures and paragenetic sequences.Taking the course in parallel with Ore Deposits I (651-4037-00L) is recommended but not mandatory.
