NNMA12001U Radiogenic Isotopes (RgIsotop)
Radiogenic isotopes, geochronology, isotope tracers, planetary reservoirs, meteorites, earth, igneous and metamorphic processes, solid earth geochemistry
Knowledge: The course will provide students with the theoretical
and practical knowledge about radiogenic isotopes and their
practical use in terrestrial and planetary geology, including early
solar system evolution.
Skills: Acquisition and Manipulation of radiogenic isotope data
including the calculation of ages and their use as tracers of
geological processes and reservoirs.
Competences: Recognize the potential use of radiogenic isotopes to
address questions in earth and planetary geology. Design scientific
projects that use radiogenic isotopes as a primary tool. Read and
critically assess scienfic papers that include radiogenic isotope
data.
