Earth Science Excursions I
Erdwissenschaftliche Exkursionen I
No description available.
Digitalization, reading and interpretation of geological maps.
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.

Geological Field Course I
Geologischer Feldkurs I
Identification and characterization of important sedimentary, magmatic and metamorphic rocks and discussion of their genesis in a well-constrained geological time frame.
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.
Theoretical background and application of some basic methods for sediment analysis.
Microscopy of carbonate (1st half of semester) and sliciclastic rocks (2nd half) rocks as well as siliceous, phosphatic and evaporitic sediements.
Sedimentology and Stratigraphy
Sedimentologie und Stratigraphie
Introduction of a range of concepts in sedimentology, Earth's surface processes and sedimentary geology in terms of processes and products. Familiarize students with a range of erosional, transportational and depositional processes and environments. The typical facies of the main depositional environments will be introduced.
Sediments preserved a record of past landscapes. This courses focuses on understanding the processes that modify sedimentary landscapes with time and how we can read this changes in the sedimentary record.
Analytical methods and concepts for the construction of a geochronological framework, including biostratigraphy, radioisotopic dating, cosmogenic isotopes, stable isotope and geochemical correlation, paleomagnetic stratigraphy and low temperature thermochronology. Advance discussion of processes and rates which determine the stratigraphic record.
