Geodynamics of the Mediterranean

Code: ENVS368

Credits: 15

Semester: Semester 2

This unique module bridges the gap between geodynamics and crustal evolution (Geology) and Earth surface processes (Physical Geography) and provides a crucial perspective on how to combine these disciplines in the field. The field course itself will take place in southeast Spain but the concepts applied and skills used are transferable to other situations and localities. The module is delivered in the form of weekly seminars to provide sufficient background information prior to the field course. When in the field, several days will be spent providing students with the appropriate geological and geomorphological background to the area. This is then followed by assessed, student-led research projects and short field excursions.
