Topics in Geosciences focuses on depositional systems, their salient features, and sedimentary dynamics, observed in modern examples and how they are investigated in ancient sediments--a relevant topic of geosciences and of importance for geosciences engineering.
The micro-module aims to reinforce foundational knowledge in geosciences, with a focus on key aspects of depositional systems. Emphasis is placed on sedimentary processes and their expression within the rock record.
In addition to exploring modern system dynamics and their associated risks to human populations, the micro-module also examines how these same processes are preserved in ancient sedimentary successions.
You will deepen your knowledge and understanding by observing a variety of modern and ancient examples based on case studies, and learn how to systematically proceed in the geological analysis of risks and the detection of natural resources.
Apply what you learn in this micro-module in your regular courses, your thesis project, and working practices, and learn how to effectively communicate the significance of depositional systems to both geoscientists and engineers when tackling multidisciplinary challenges in the geosciences.
