NGEK10030U Marine Geoscience
MSc programme in Geology-Geoscience
The purpose of this course is to provide knowledge about sea
floor processes,
marine transport processes in shallow and deep water, marine
environment,
high resolutino seismics in shallow waters, georadar in coastal
zones, climate
links, palaeoceanography and practical experience in selected
marine research
methods. The course will be held at the field station Skalling
Laboratoriet in Ho, NW of Esbjerg, Denmark. Lectures, exercises and
field work will form the basic part of the course.
Knowledge:
Sea floor processes, marine transport processes in shallow and deep
water, marine environment and climate relations, palaeoceanography
and practical experience in marine research methods. active
offshore marine geoscience fieldwork
