DESCRIPTION
The course starts with a brief history of historical geology and an overview of the major global events. We address major themes - sedimentology, stratigraphy, structural geology, paleontology, climate and plate tectonics in time and space -, which are brought together to unravel the Earth's history. The focus is on large-scale processes relevant for understanding how climatic and tectono-sedimentary changes are recorded in the geological record. In addition, the interdependent aspects of these themes will be addressed. Smaller-scaled events will be highlighted during the sedimentologically-oriented practicals.
