Objectives

During the lessons, the Student will learn how to write and communicate a geologic elaborate, and will be introduced to a peer review process.
During the field trip, different aspects of the Earth Science will be studied, giving the tools to an effective observation of geological features (i.e., sedimentology, sequence stratigraphy, volcanism, structural style...)

Contents

The class has the objective to introduce the student to different aspect of Earth Science, that can variate depending upon the locality where the field trip will be held

Extended Syllabus

The main aspect of geology that will be studied during the Multidisciplinary field trip on the Dolomites are:
- Permo-Traissic sedimentary succession and sequence stratigraphy (Bletterbach canyon; Latemar);
- crisis of carbonate platforms (Latemar, Sciliar, Sella);
- volcanic events;
- structural styles and thrusts (Piz Boé; Puez);
- diapir tectonics and petroleum potential (San Nicolò).
- geotourism (Predazzo Geologic museum, GEOPARC)

Teaching Methods

The lessons will be distributed as follows:
- lessons in class: 12 hours
- field trip: 48 hours (6 days)

Evaluation methods

Verification of learning:

The learning will be verified through a team work that consists in a written relation and an oral presentation.
The oral exam will be held immediately before or during the field trip.
